Dear friends and colleagues,

Another year has come full circle, bringing us together once more for what has become one of the most anticipated events in our professional calendar. Each passing year reminds us not only of the rapid pace of change in our world but also of our collective resilience and unwavering commitment to excellence in ophthalmic care.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to this year’s meeting — an occasion to reconnect, exchange ideas, and immerse ourselves in the latest developments across our specialty. The breadth and depth of our sessions reflect the evolving landscape of ophthalmology, ensuring that every participant will find inspiration, challenge, and insight.

This gathering continues to thrive thanks to the enthusiasm and engagement of our community. Hearing from colleagues who value this meeting as a highlight of their professional journey fills us with pride and renewed purpose. It reminds us that learning, collaboration, and friendship remain at the heart of what we do.

We extend our sincere appreciation to all who make this event possible — from our distinguished speakers sharing their expertise, to every participant who contributes through thoughtful discussion and open exchange. Your presence and passion are what give this meeting its enduring energy.

As we embark on another weekend of learning and camaraderie, we look forward to meaningful conversations, fresh perspectives, and an enjoyable time together.

Thank you for being part of this community, and we wish you an inspiring and memorable meeting.

Warm regards,

Theo Potamitis / Pantheo Director

The Alistair Fielder Prize in Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology trainees and medical students are cordially invited to participate in the esteemed Alistair Fielder Prize in Ophthalmology. Named in honour of Professor Alistair Fielder, who annually chairs the judging committee, this competition offers a platform for showcasing exceptional case presentations by participants.

There are two prize categories: one designated for medical students and the other for ophthalmic trainees or fellows at any stage of their training. Additionally, a prize will be awarded for the best poster presentation.

Regulations:

• Trainee participants must prepare and present a case or case series, or a research paper. The trainee must have been personally involved in the presented case or taken an active role in the research project.
• Medical students are encouraged to present cases provided by their supervising clinical trainers, supplemented by their own background clinical research on the case.
• Presentations should aim to enhance clinical practice by conveying valuable lessons from the case scenario. The judging committee, comprising of Professor Alistair Fielder and three other consultants, will evaluate contestants based on presentation skills, clinical significance, scientific content, and originality. The judging panel may pose questions to the presenters, but audience questions will not be permitted.
• The Pantheo team is pleased to offer cases and guidance to medical students for both presentations and posters, as is customary each year. Students may collaborate in groups of two or three for poster presentations.

Declaration of Interest:

Interested participants are requested to submit a declaration of interest to Dr. Katia Papastavrou via email at conference@pantheo.com  or katia@pantheo.com by the end of January.

Situated at the crossroads of three continents – Europe, Asia and Africa – the island’s unique geographic position has played an important part in its turbulent past since antiquity. Its Prehistoric Age inhabitants were joined 3,500 years ago by the Mycenaean Greeks, who introduced and established their civilisation, thus permanently instilling the island’s Greek roots.
