In collaboration with CanKids KidsCan and Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital
Retinoblastoma, a rare but life-threatening eye cancer affecting young children, continues to present significant challenges due to delayed diagnosis and lack of awareness.
Early signs such as a white reflex in the eye, squint, or poor vision are often overlooked, leading to late-stage presentation. With timely detection and appropriate treatment, however, it is one of the most curable childhood cancers. Raising awareness, especially among healthcare professionals and caregivers, remains crucial to saving sight and lives.
In light of this, Sitapur Eye Hospital, in partnership with CanKids KidsCan and Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital, organized a Continuing Medical Education (CME) workshop focused on retinoblastoma awareness.
The workshop brought together leading experts in ocular oncology and pediatric eye care to educate, engage, and collaborate on strategies for early detection, referral, and management of retinoblastoma.
The event began with an opening note by Dr. (Col) Shrikant Waikar, CMO of Sitapur Eye Hospital, followed by a series of insightful talks by eminent speakers, including Dr. Sima Das (Director, Oculoplasty & Ocular Oncology, Dr. Shroff’s Charity Eye Hospital), Dr. Aditya Gupta, Dr. Rupal Verma, Dr. Indranil Saha, and Dr. Haresh Gupta.
Each session explored critical aspects of retinoblastoma—from diagnosis and treatment protocols to the psychosocial impact on affected families.
The workshop concluded with an engaging Q&A session, fostering discussion and collaboration among attending clinicians.
Such initiatives are vital in strengthening community-level awareness and referral networks, ultimately working toward the shared goal of reducing preventable blindness and mortality in children affected by retinoblastoma.
With decades of expertise, Sitapur Eye Hospital continues its legacy of academic excellence and research advancement, shaping the future of paediatric eye care through its latest CME event. Follow us to stay updated with our on-ground initiatives.
(Society of India (YOSI), welcomed a gathering of budding as well as experienced eye care professionals organized a CME program which wasn’t just about learning—it was about connection, inspiration, and nurturing the next generation of ophthalmologists. The ophthalmology fraternity, under the guidance of The CMO and Director, welcomed the guests and sent a message towards humanity, continuing its century old legacy of excellence for the betterment of mankind and ability to lead with changing times and advances in the field of ophthalmology.
