Let ASCRS and ASOA help you stay in the forefront of your profession. This year’s ASCRS on Cataract, IOL and Refractive Surgery, ASOA Congress on Ophthalmic Practice Management, and Clinical and Surgical Staff Program offer the best in educational programs to keep you on top of the latest in ophthalmic surgery and practice.

Chicago is one of America’s great cities, a leading cultural center, and a centrally located transportation hub that guarantees easy connections. It offers world-class dining, entertainment, shopping, and in April, fantastic weather.

As always, our programs feature the most up-to-date techniques and innovations, hands-on skills training, extensive practice management educational opportunities, and quality clinical and surgical staff offerings. Of special note, are the 8 ASCRS specialty tracks that identify a variety of courses and symposia highlighting the latest treatment options in their respective subspecialties. There are separate tracks for cataract, refractive, cornea, pediatric, glaucoma, retina, and comprehensive ophthalmology, and a track which overviews issues of interest to young physicians and residents.

Among the highlights you won’t want to miss are Saturday’s Opening General Session, which includes the Binkhorst Lecture and the ASCRS Hall of Fame, Sunday’s Government Relations Session, Monday’s Innovators Session, the Challenge Cup Session and Clinical Carryout Session on Tuesday, plus much, much more.

Plan on arriving Thursday night so you can attend one of several special events on Friday, April 4, that precede the Symposium and Congress: ASCRS Glaucoma Day 2008, Cornea Day 2008 cosponsored by ASCRS and The Cornea Society, ASOA COE Review Day, ASOA optional courses, and the ASCRS ASOA Welcome Reception.

We look forward to having you join us in Chicago!
