Dr Black will be attending and speaking at the annual ASCRS meeting which will be held in Boston this year.

Dr Black presented at the St George Medical Weekend in September 2013. His lectures provide valuable information for rural practitioners dealing with eye conditions without specialist support.

In October 2013 Dr Black is invited to the annual European Cataract & Refractive Surgery Meeting in Amsterdam to speak on “Achieving Excellent Long Term Results after Cataract Surgery”.

Dr Black spoke at the annual Asia Pacific Association of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons meeting in Singapore in July 2013 on on “Optimising results in Cataract Surgery”.

Dr Black is committed to providing his patients with access to the latest technological advances in cataract surgery and has a close working relationship with key stake holders in the Ophthalmic industry. For example, he is a member of the Abbott Medical Optics Advisory Board for the Asia Pacific Region. He will be attending a meeting in June 2013.

This year the annual meeting of the American Society of Cataract & Refractive Surgery was held in San Francisco. Dr Black attends this meeting annually to keep up to date with the latest developments in Ophthalmology. This year Dr Black was a guest speaker at the conference on the subject “Visual Outcomes with Premium Intraocular Lenses”.

It is interesting to note that in Australia our health system enables us access to the latest lens implants often years before the American health system. This means the American Ophthalmologists are very interested in the outcomes from cataract and other types of lens implant surgery. As a patient in Australia this is great news if you are in need of this type of a surgical procedure.

Aviation Medicine is a keen interest of Dr Black’s. In July Dr Black has been invited to conduct his 2^nd lecture this year with the RAAF Institute of Aviation Medicine. This lecture aims to provide our military medical officers with the knowledge to care for the ocular health including management of battlefield trauma of military personnel serving Australia both here and on deployment.
