About

The International Uveitis Study Group (IUSG) under the auspices of the International Council of Ophthalmology (ICO) will be conducting the 3rd Uveitis Course in Africa, which will be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, between August 23 and 27, 2025. This course will be offered directly following the Ophthalmology Conference hosted by COESCA, also in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

 

The course is intended for Ophthalmologists interested in deepening their knowledge of ocular inflammation, and in particular those who are considering pursuing a career in this field, as well as ophthalmologists who want an in-dept refresher on uveitis. All aspects from diagnosis to therapy will be covered with didactic lectures, small interactive group sessions, and case discussions provided by the attendees and the faculty. Among the topics to be addressed: clinical evaluation of uveitis patients, effective use of diagnostic and laboratory tests, use and relevance of imaging techniques, and theoptimal use of immunosuppressive therapy. The interactive program will allow in-depth discussions between alumni and staff regarding both simple and more complex cases. Enough time is provided for one on one discussion with the faculty. The faculty is composed of highly experienced IUSG members who are well known for their teaching skills.
