Abstract

Never a dull day in Ophthalmology

It gives me great pleasure to write this article for I truly believe that ophthalmology is one of the most exciting branches of medicine as there is constant research that leads to numerous innovations in technology, pharmaceuticals and surgical techniques. However, for one to fully appreciate this highly dynamic breed of medicine one must have the innate desire to continuously study, research, and learn new surgical techniques. Goneare the days when we did our residency and coasted on
the knowledge obtained for the rest of our lives. In keeping with the theme of this years Collegeof Ophthalmology of Eastern, Central and  Southern Africa (COECSA) 2015 Annual Scientific Conference, “Embracing Research and Technology in Ophthalmology” we shall look at the evolution of technology in ophthalmology through the ages and realize that there is never a dull day in ophthalmology
