Our events are opportunities for people to learn about aniridia and related conditions from: us, each other and professionals in medical and related fields. For example, delegates find out how others affected by aniridia deal with it every day. The events are also a chance to contribute to Aniridia Network by sharing ideas and experiences, and/or volunteering for the organisation.
“Meeting lots of people and having a good variety of speakers made it very enjoyable and informative – helped me connect.””
“Initially I didn’t want to attend and it was hard at times. But I cannot emphasize enough how much of a positive experience attending the conference was, and on returning home actually felt sad that I had not made those connections earlier.” – Heather
“It was great to meet people with the same condition as my daughter. I really learnt a lot. Thank you” – Dawn
