The Neuro Ophthalmology Society of Australia and the neuro ophthalmology community are greatly saddened to hear of the passing of NOSA founder Associate Professor Isla Williams (1934 – 2024), who made significant national and international contributions to the field of neuro ophthalmology. An obituary has been published in the Journal of Neuro Ophthalmology recognising Isla’s contribution to the field, and can be found here.

Welcome to The Neuro-Ophthalmology Society of Australia
NOSA was set up in 1985 by Associate Professor Isla Williams (1934 – 2024) to provide a meeting place for medical clinicians and scientific workers in the field of neuro-ophthalmology, that is the neurology of vision. Most members practise either clinical neurology or ophthalmic surgery, as well as neuro-ophthalmology.
Currently, the main activity of NOSA is the annual scientific and clinical meeting, which is held in the different states of Australia, and New Zealand on a rotating basis. Each year, guests from overseas and interstate contribute to the meeting. The papers presented include both clinical presentation of cases for discussion, results of research, and papers reviewing different aspects of neuro-ophthalmology. Trainees and orthoptists are welcome to attend the meeting which is open to all clinicians and scientists with an interest in neuro-ophthalmology.
The NOSA annual scientific meeting is associated with the NeuroVision Training Weekend. This Training Weekend is open to doctors and allied health professionals who want to learn more about the diseases commonly seen by Neuro-Ophthalmologists. Many trainee doctors will attend this part of the meeting as part of their examination preparation. With registration for the weekend, they also get secure online access to the lecturers’ slides and information hand-outs.
New members are welcome.
