MAYopia Day will take place on Sunday 11 May 2025

The full-day programme will include sessions developed in collaboration with CooperVision, Essilor, Hoya, Bausch + Lomb, and the Vision team at Johnson & Johnson. Topics range from research-based management approaches to compliance and safeguarding in myopia care, with opportunities for attendees to explore areas such as orthokeratology and strategies for effective communication with parents.

The webinars will feature renowned speakers, including:

  • Katie Harrop, Senior Manager, Global Professional Education at CooperVision
  • Amisha Pau, Medical Science Liaison Lead for UK & Ireland at EssilorLuxottica
  • Sofia Fazal, Professional Services Manager for Hoya Lens UK and Ireland

  • Dr Xu Cheng, Research and Development Myopia Lead at Johnson & Johnson
  • Marie-Therese Hall, Professional Affairs Consultant at Johnson & Johnson.

Dr Byki Huntjens, AOP Education Lead, said: “As new insights into myopia research emerge quickly, it is essential for practitioners to stay informed on the latest innovations and management strategies. MAYopia Day, through its expert-led sessions, serves as a valuable platform for practitioners to enhance their clinical skills, supporting them in providing improved care to patients and their families.”

Wendy Steele, AOP Commercial Director, said: “The AOP is dedicated to equipping practitioners with tailored education in emerging areas of clinical practice. With the support of our sponsors, this year’s MAYopia Day offers attendees the opportunity to update their clinical knowledge, build confidence, and learn key skills to improve patient outcomes.”

Registration for MAYopia Day is now open, and delegates are encouraged to secure their place early.
