Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery Summit
Coming Fall 2026: Build a Profitable Premium IOL Practice
Patients increasingly want greater spectacle independence after cataract surgery —and practices that confidently deliver advanced-technology IOLs are positioned for long-term growth.
The Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery Summit (BRiCS Summit) gives ophthalmologists and staff the practical systems, patient-conversion strategies, and business tools needed to increase premium IOL adoption with confidence.
Your team will learn how to guide patients through the refractive cataract journey while strengthening practice revenue and patient satisfaction.
The next BRiCS Summit is coming Fall 2026—more details will be released in June.
