Abstract submission and amendments to abstracts now closed.
Note: Abstract submission and edits can be done until noon 21st March 2025.
The 2025 meeting will be accepting oral presentations, surgical videos, paper posters and e-posters. We will make the full technical details for each category available soon. Before submitting, please refer to and read the BOPSS rules. BOPSS will NOT enter correspondence about acceptance or not of your abstracts. Abstracts are marked by BRAAC. They do not know who submitted the abstracts. Submissions of novel research in the fields of orbit, lacrimal and oculoplastic surgery are invited and are more likely to be successful. Please make sure your abstract is of original contemporary work that has not already been published, written in good English and grammatically correct.
