Podcasts
Global Eyes is a podcast which provides a nexus for eye care practitioners all around the world. Each month a different specialist will be featured for a lively discussion of the status of the eye care profession in their country. We will explore the educational system, techniques and methods, patient demographics and what they see as, not only the biggest obstacles, but also the nascent opportunities. Along the way we will learn a little about their personal life, hobbies and interests. A relaxed, loosely structured and fun atmosphere will be encouraged.
