A call for clinical cases to be presented and discussed by a panel of international experts. The WGC will organize Grand Rounds which will include six clinical cases, chosen by the scientific committee as the most original, interesting and challenging among all submitted cases. The chosen cases will be presented by the author in Grand Rounds, 3-4 minutes per case, and the case will be then discussed by the panel. We highly recommend that residents, fellows and young ophthalmologists will participate in this exciting 'competition'. We expect high quality photos, imaging and/or video to be included in the case description.. Individuals chosen for their best cases will be awarded travel expenses to Paris per WGA policy.
