We are incredibly excited to invite you all to our next free online event, an “Ocular Oncology and Advancements in Treatment” talk by Dr Hamzah Mustak, a consultant ophthalmologist with a special interest in ocular oncology, oculoplastic and orbital surgery based out of Cape Town, South Africa.

Dr Mustak is a member of the International Society of Ocular Oncology and heads the oncology, orbital and oculoplastic service in the division of ophthalmology at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town. He completed his specialist training in ophthalmology at the University of Cape Town and continued with a fellowship in orbital and oculoplastic surgery at the Stein Eye Institute in Los Angeles, California under Professor Robert Goldberg.

Dr Mustak’s clinical interests include endoscopic orbital surgery, orbital tumours as well as choroidal melanoma and retinoblastoma to name a few. Some of his academic interests include education and training for retinoblastoma services in Africa, outcomes of intra-arterial and intravitreal chemotherapy for retinoblastoma as well as endoscopic approaches to the orbital apex and cavernous sinus.

He served as chair for the Ophthalmology Society of South Africa’s symposium on ocular oncology at the 2018 World Ophthalmology Congress in Barcelona. He also collaborated with Professor Darlene Lubbe in the development of endoscopic transorbital surgery and is co-author of the Karl Storz silver book on the transorbital approach to sphenoid wing meningiomas.

Whether you are interested in ophthalmology, oncology or just want to hear about medicine from someone practising abroad, everyone is welcome to join! This promises to be a very interesting and informative talk so please do come along!! As always, students from all universities are welcome and encouraged to join us and certificates of attendance will be provided after the talk has finished.
