BIPOSA’s charitable support
BIPOSA exists to advance education in the subject of eye conditions and diseases in children and in people with ocular motility problems for the public benefit. To encourage research and advance education the charity makes a variety of awards throughout the year to enable orthoptists, trainee doctors and early career researchers to undertake research and disseminate their results to a wider public
Presentation Prizes

Abstracts accepted as a free paper (not rapid fire) will be considered for one of the presentation prizes on offer – there are two categories of prize: two for medics in training and two for early career orthoptists (5 years or less qualified) or early career non-medic researchers.
