Glaucoma Lecture & Goldmann Applanation Practice Session

Date: Monday 19 January at 6.30pm
Venue: Moorfields Eye Clinic, Ealing Hospital, Uxbridge Road, Southall, UB1 3HW

Moorfields Eye Clinic at Ealing Hospital with E&H LOC are hosting a Glaucoma lecture on Monday 19 January 2026, and we’re pleased to share that they have kindly agreed to make their equipment available afterwards for a Goldmann applanation tonometry practice session.

Following the lecture, there will be an opportunity to practise Goldmann on each other, with supervision and guidance available. This session is particularly useful for those involved in, or preparing for, glaucoma referral and monitoring schemes, or for anyone who feels a little rusty and would welcome the chance to refresh their skills or ask questions in a supportive environment.

There is no obligation to stay for the practical session, but attendees are encouraged to take advantage of this valuable hands-on opportunity.

Please sign up using the form below so we can confirm numbers for refreshments and plan appropriately for the Goldmann practice session.

We look forward to seeing you there.
