About

Oracles of Eye Innovation is a platform to allow doctors and surgeons to find out about new, game-changing devices and techniques; and to discuss what really matters in the field of ophthalmology without the filter of sponsored content and boring talks. Our goal is to shine a spotlight on innovators from around the globe.

The webinar series brings the ophthalmology community together in conversation without scripts in an entertaining and open discussion. You get to hear about new technologies and how these innovations can change the lives of patients and the practices of clinicians in positive and meaningful ways. We call this “ophthalmology unplugged” because this is where you hear directly from your fellow practitioners.  It’s a little irreverent at times, but that’s how we like it!

As they take to the virtual stage, each Oracle answers these burning questions:

  • What problem does the chosen technology solve?

  • How does the innovation solve the problem?

  • How does this innovation change the life of patients?

  • How does this innovation change the life of clinicians?

  • Why does this innovation excite me?
