The 22nd International Scientific Symposium (ISS) on Ophthalmic Imaging is set to take place on September 18–19, 2026, in Singapore. Building on over two decades of scientific exchange, the symposium continues its legacy while entering a new chapter, signaled by its new name. Formerly known as the International SPECTRALIS Symposium, ISS "reflects an expanded scientific scope and a continued focus on ophthalmic imaging as a key driver of clinical insight and innovation."
Under the theme "Imaging that Inspires," ISS 2026 offers an ambitious scientific program, with topics including multimodal imaging in nAMD and GA, myopia imaging and management, multimodal imaging with high axial resolution OCT imaging, artificial intelligence in ophthalmology, and next-generation ocular imaging technologies.
The symposium will be jointly directed by Professor Tock Han Lim, Senior Consultant at the NHG Eye Institute, Tan Tock Seng Hospital, and Professor Leopold Schmetterer, Scientific Director and Head of Ocular Imaging at SERI, Singapore National Eye Centre.
“Ophthalmic imaging has become a central pillar of both research and clinical practice,” said Professor Schmetterer. “ISS 2026 provides an excellent opportunity to discuss not only technological innovation, but also how imaging can truly empower clinicians by translating data into meaningful clinical insight.”
ISS 2026 will be hosted at the Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa in Singapore, providing a focused setting for scientific exchange and professional networking.
