It’s More Than Taking in Sessions

While the ASCRS Annual Meeting is known for its education, the ASCRS experience extends well beyond the session rooms.

The ASCRS experience is defined by the run-ins with colleagues and mentors in the hallway between sessions, the meetings with industry representatives in the ASCRS Exhibit Hall, the drinks with friends—old and new—in the Tap Room, and the organized and impromptu breakfasts and dinners outside the convention space.

“I remember very vividly attending my first conference as a resident 30 years ago, and I was hooked. I discovered a wealth of indispensable knowledge and enjoyed the spirit of collaboration that continues to inspire me to this day. I also discovered a community that is dedicated to advancing the field of ophthalmology.” —Sydney Tyson, MD

Experience it all in Los Angeles, California, April 25–28, 2025.

 

Three ASCRS Live! Events Left for 2024

There are three locations left for ASCRS Live!, the regional dinner series that’s been making its way to several U.S. cities this year. The primary focus at each event will be refractive cataract surgery along with a secondary, rotating topic.

Here’s what’s coming up: 

  • November 7: San Diego, California
  • November 14: Charlotte, North Carolina
  • December 5: Denver, Colorado

These events, targeted to a smaller audience and open to local ophthalmologist members and nonmembers, will include ample time for open discussion and questions. Click here to register for one of these in-person events.

 

Catch Up on These Special Member Messages

In honor of the 50th anniversary of ASCRS, member ophthalmologists from the 50 states are sending in their perspectives on the Society, sharing its impact on their career, and talking about its influence on the specialty as a whole.

Stay tuned each week through April 2025 for a new perspective. 

This week’s perspectives come from Neda Nikpoor, MD, of Hawaii. Watch her video here.
