The Premier Uveitis Education Forum
April
The Premier Uveitis Education Forum
The National Summer CME is a landmark continuing medical education event jointly organised by the Uveitis Society of India (USI) and the Awadh Ophthalmic Society, bringing together the finest minds in uveitis management for two intensive days of learning, dialogue, and discovery.
Set against the regal backdrop of Lucknow — India's city of culture, cuisine, and Nawabi grace — this CME promises not only world-class ophthalmological education but also an unforgettable experience of Awadhi hospitality.
The event features expert lectures, live case discussions, panel debates, and for the first time ever — a dedicated Rheumatology Workshop for the Uveitis Specialist running in parallel on Day 1.
Two days of intensive, practice-transforming education across lectures, case-based discussions, workshops, and interactive panels.
The Uveitis Society of India proudly presents an exclusive Rheumatology Workshop designed by Uveitis Specialists for Uveitis Specialists — a focused, clinician-oriented programme led by eminent rheumatologists.
Unlike conventional combined meetings, this workshop is tailored specifically to the needs of ophthalmologists managing uveitis, addressing real-world diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas at the uveitis–rheumatology interface.
Seven leading experts in uveitis, rheumatology, and ocular immunology guiding this landmark educational event.

Lucknow is more than a venue — it is a living museum of Mughal grandeur, British legacy, and vibrant contemporary culture. Make the most of your visit.
Lucknow's cuisine is its soul — slow-cooked dum biryanis, melt-off-the-bone galouti kebabs, and piping kulche nihari at dawn. These are the addresses you must not miss.
