The 57th OOG meeting was attended by over 120 ophthalmologists from different countries of the world who are specialists in ocular oncologists or are fellows undergoing training in ocular oncology.
During this conference, Dr. Chigozie was privileged to make her first international presentation titled ”A recurrent conjunctiva cyst: A case report”. This was a case she co-managed with her supervisor, Dr. Vicktoria Dai, who is an ocular oncologist at the Goldschleger Eye Institute, Sheba Medical Center in Israel. |
Dr. Chigozie says, “ The conference created a platform which enabled me to interact with and learn from other ophthalmologists practicing in different countries, which has improved my clinical acumen on the best ways to manage eye diseases.
We also enjoyed the German hospitality and enjoyed the sights and sounds of Berlin together; had a boat tour where we were served the traditional German cuisines and visited sights including Alexandra Platz, Museum and a guided tour of the Reichstag.
Thank you to the Eye Cancer Foundation, for this novel gift of improving eye health in underserved countries and the travel grant to be allowed to attend this event.”
