COMMITTEE S INVITATION Dear Colleagues The NSW RANZCO Branch Committee warmly invites ophthalmologists and trainees from Australia, New Zealand and beyond to attend the 2018 Congress on 16 17 March. We will be returning to the Crowne Convention facility at Pokolbin, in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney. The facility can offer accommodation on site for a large number of delegates in a congenial atmosphere. The theme, Ophthalmology - Its Ups and Downs, will focus on the management and prevention of the complications that are part and parcel of the practice of ophthalmology. A broad spectrum of ophthalmology disciplines will be addressed, and the program should appeal to generalists and subspecialists alike. We are privileged to be to be joined by our distinguished overseas keynote speakers: Ken Nischal is the Professor of Ophthalmology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and is a world authority on paediatric anterior segment surgery and research Rupesh Agrawal is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at the National Healthcare Group Eye Institute, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, Singapore. His areas of interest are ocular inflammatory disorders, ocular trauma, ocular nanotechnology, and choroid imaging. The distinguished Australian vitreo-retinal surgeon Wilson Heriot will be joining Ken and Rupesh on the Keynote Speaker Podium. So come and join us at Pokolbin in March. Warm Regards, Robert Griffits, Chair, and on behalf of the Organising Committee, 2018 NSW Branch Congress.

After being awarded the NMRC overseas research training fellowship, he spent time at Moorfields Eye Hospital (MEH), London with Prof Carlos Pavesio and completed his MD (Res) training fellowship at the Institute of Ophthalmology, University College London (UCL) (Nov 12 Oct 14) and is now associated with the Institute of Ophthalmology as Research Associate and as Honorary consultant with MEH. His clinical areas of expertise are ocular inflammatory disorders (uveitis) including ocular tuberculosis and HIV and ocular trauma. He has published many articles in peer-reviewed journals and presented several papers and lectures on uveitis and ocular trauma. He is a recipient of numerous grants for basic-translational science projects pertinent to ocular inflammation and drug delivery. He is associated with Singapore Eye Research Institute (SERI) as Clinician Investigator the School of Material Science and Engineering (MSE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) as Adjunct Assistant Professor, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology (IMCB), A*Star, the Singapore and National University of Singapore (NUS). His key research areas of interest are: Development of sustained release drugs for back of the eye. Novel biological markers for ocular inflammation. Characterising red blood cell behaviour and its implications in diabetic retinopathy. Choroidal vascular imaging using index first published by him: Choroidal vascularity index He is currently secretary of International Society of Ocular trauma. He was conferred with Healthcare Humanity Award by President of Singapore (2011) for his humanitarian work. He is involved heavily in charity projects across Asia. He also serves as an examiner for Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians, Glasgow, UK. Wilson Heriot FRANZCO Associate Professor Wilson Heriot undertook his Ophthalmology training at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in East Melbourne. He subsequently spent two years in New York with the late Professor Paul Henkind, whilst exploring choroidal neovascularization and light induced retinal damage. He then spent two years with Professor Robert Machemer, the pioneer of intraocular microsurgery. In 2005, he developed a simple outpatient procedure, called pneumatic displacement for treating macula haemorrhages, which currently remains widely used around the world. In addition, in 2016, A/Prof Heriot was awarded a three-year congressional grant with the United States Department of Defence of US $1.5 million, to further the development of his innovative retinal detachment repair technique. At the prestigious Gonin Society meeting in 2016, A/Prof Heriot received the award for best submitted presentation. At the 2017 MACULART meeting in Paris, he was awarded the prize for best presentation poster. In Durham, North Carolina, at the Duke Medical Centre Advanced Vitreous Surgery 20th anniversary meeting, he was an invited faculty member, presenting his work on retinal detachment repair of the future. He was also a panel member at the anniversary meeting, discussing optimal management of macula haemorrhages. His investigations of vitreous traction disorders have shed new light on how macular holes open and close. His current research program includes investigating the defining characteristics of different patterns of diabetic retinopathy to optimise management for individual patients, identifying clinical indicators for vitreous haemorrhage in diabetic retinopathy and optimal management of central retinal vein occlusion including management with laser induced chorioretinal anastomosis.
