Prague Ophthalmology Festival

Traditional educational event for eye physicians, nurses and other ophthalmologists. 

Introduction

The Prague Ophthalmology Festival, also known as POF, is an established gathering for ophthalmologists and healthcare professionals.

 

The festival attracts ophthalmologists from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia, who come here every autumn to exchange their experiences from daily practice and listen to interesting case studies presented by their colleagues. The participation of doctors and medical staff continues to grow. In the last editions, nearly 600 participants from the professional community attended.

 

The educational event is organized according to the Regulation No. 16 of the Czech Medical Chamber and is accredited with 6 credits for czech eye doctors.

About the congress​

In several lecture sessions, attendees have the opportunity to listen to or actively present professional contributions – case studies that are concluded with survey questions. The congress allows interactive communication directly with the speakers of individual presentations, as well as voting and the selection of the winning presentation for the entire festival.

 

Some case studies may be enriched by the presence of specific patients. At other times, you can witness online discussions by leading world ophthalmic surgeons, broadcasted in real-time to the congress hall. The congress enriches the annual event with a diverse accompanying program.

The last Prague Ophthalmology Festival

The last Prague Ophthalmology Festival took place on the 31st October once again at the Zofin Palace in Prague, Czech Republic.

 

The winner was MUDr. Zdeněk Kasl, Ph.D., with a presentation titled “Challenging Moments in Eyelid Reconstruction.”
