In November, ophthalmologists and staff from across Belgium gathered in Brussels for OB 2025: the annual conference of Academia Ophthalmologica Belgica. Many ophthalmologists and staff members from our eye clinics were also in attendance, both as enthusiastic participants and as active speakers.
The conference featured numerous engaging sessions on topics such as cataract surgery, glaucoma, retinal disorders, refractive innovations, and more. Our doctors and staff immersed themselves fully in the latest insights, techniques, and practical experiences, while also contributing to the program’s content themselves.
For example, Dr. Scheers from Oogcentrum Brugge served as moderator for the BSOPRS (Belgian Society of Oculoplastic and Reconstructive Surgery) sessions. She shared her expertise in the field of oculoplastic surgery and provided additional insight into the topics discussed.
Prof. Dr. Lemmens (Ophthalmologists of the Limburg Region) took the lead during the BGS session, alongside Dr. Vandewalle and the rest of the BGS board. She delivered a lecture on “5 Key Messages for Gonioscopy: An Essential Skill for Every Ophthalmologist.” In the afternoon, she led a hands-on workshop on glaucoma surgery together with Dr. Vandewalle and Dr. Hondeghem.
It is wonderful to see how such moments and conferences not only deepen our knowledge but also strengthen collaboration among colleagues across practice boundaries. By sharing expertise, we continue to build leading-edge eye care together.
