We are hosting this event to mark Aniridia Day - an annual chance to bring together the worldwide aniridia community in solidarity:
people who have aniridia
researchers into the condition.
Together we can improve understanding of aniridia, find ways to manage its effects and find (funding for) treatments.
The event is also a substitute for the European Aniridia Conference which we hoped to hold in London this summer. It has been delayed until June/July/August 2021. More details to be announced soon.
Aniridia Network is a support group and charity in the UKK for people affected by aniridia: those who have it plus their family, carers, doctors, educators and other support givers.

Learn more aboutDr Colin Parsloe Dr Colin Parsloe
Ophthalmologist , Milton Keynes University Hospital
I see a lot of dry eye disease and have developed a simple pragmatic approach to diagnosis and management of this condition. I assist medical technology and pharmaceutical companies in developing as well as assessing dry eye therapeutics. I have published various related patents and developed intellectual property. I also have personal experience as a patient and as somebody suffering from dry eye disease myself. I’m aware of the impact this has on my patient’s quality of life. This is one of the driving forces behind me trying to improve the awareness and education of simple diagnostic and treatment approaches in busy clinics.
