Remarkable changes in life expectancy at birth mean that half of all those born in 2000 may live to the age of 100.  Similar remarkable advances in healthcare and treatments for chronic disease mean that people who are diagnosed earlier have much improved outcomes than before.

 These two major changes pose considerable challenges for the State, with increasing pressure on the health service to deliver advanced medical care to an expanding older population. This is all the more daunting where there is less money available to pay for care.

Innovations in Eye Care Delivery- Embracing New Challenges, will bring together international and national experts in the field of eye care to share their knowledge, experience and expertise on dealing with those challenges.

This conference on innovation in eye care delivery will discuss how the key elements of better healthcare - patient safety, quality of care and professionalism - can be maintained and improved without compromising the patient experience or the caring culture of medicine.
