We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming interactive webinar on Monday, October 19, 2026, at 20:00 (CET / Amsterdam Time).
This session is designed specifically for families living with inherited eye conditions. We are honored to be joined by Prof. Dr. Camiel Boon (Professor of Ophthalmology and Ophthalmogenetics at Amsterdam UMC)
Do you have Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) and are you developing cataracts? Then a potential cataract operation likely raises many questions. Is surgery worthwhile for RP? What can be improved? What can you realistically expect regarding your vision after the operation? And are there any additional points to consider or risks?
During our webinar, Prof. Dr. Camiel Boon, ophthalmologist and specialist in hereditary retinal disorders, will discuss cataract surgery for people with RP. He will explain when surgery can help, what results you can expect, and what you and your ophthalmologist need to take into account.
Naturally, there will also be an opportunity to ask questions.
