Next Steps for Optometry: Development, Digital and Diagnostics with AI
‘We will look at how the
profession needs to develop clinically and connect digitally to maximise its
usefulness to the public and the NHS with an eye to the government’s 10-year health
plan, including the NHS hospital online service,’ says Mr Morris, director of
professional advancement at Specsavers.
‘As you’d expect,
we will discuss how AI integrates into the future, notably for glaucoma and how
AI might fit into the solution. We will be on the main stage from 10.30am to
11.30am on Sunday 1 March.’
Specsavers is also providing a CPD programme
for optometrists and dispensing opticians on its stand, number G50, during the
show that takes place at London Excel between 28 February and 2 March 2026.
Highlights
include Specsavers’ head of optometry development Neil Retallic leading
a peer review on mental health for eye care professionals. Titled: ‘Look
after yourself to better eye health’, it takes
place between 9.15am and 10.15am on Sunday 1 March.
The CPD programme on
Specsavers stand, number G50, also covers sustainability, fundus
imaging, glaucoma qualifications, changing lives through dual wear, presbyopia and urgent eye care management.
For delegates looking at new
career opportunities, there will be a team from Specsavers on its stand to
chat about the professional development and roles at Specsavers.
