Abstract Submission for 2026
CLOSES 31st December 2025 23:59
Proceedings Bowman Club Annual Meeting will be published in the BMJ Open Ophthalmology
We invited Bowman Club members and their fellows to submit abstracts for inclusion in the 2026 Bowman Club meeting on 27 March 2026.
Abstract submitters will be notified of the results in early February 2026 (in time to book study leave).
All abstracts will be reviewed by members of a review panel. Abstracts will be shortlisted for presentation based on their scientific content, interest to meeting participants and synergy with the topics covered by the 2026 meeting.
Our aim is to include a diverse range of abstract presentations across the 2026 corneal ophthalmic sub-speciality areas. The number of shortlisted abstracts taken to presentation is therefore dependent on the session time available for abstract presentations within the Bowman Club programme.
Abstracts submitted as structured abstracts:
Maximum length = 250 words
As general guidance when submitting your abstract, include:
