Cornea Day: Going 'Rogue'

Four sessions at the Cornea Subspecialty Day promise jam-packed education
Since 2007, the Cornea Society and the American Academy of Ophthalmology have joined forces to co-sponsor Cornea Subspecialty Day, a one-day meeting immediately prior to the AAO's annual conference. This year's topic ("The Cornea: Going Rogue") is aimed at both intermediate- and advanced-level corneal surgeons and comprehensive ophthalmologists who have a specific interest in the anterior segment.
"Subspecialty days have become one of the most successful educational events for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. They serve as an annual update of what is new and emerging in the individual fields. This year's Cornea Subspecialty day follows by only six months the highly successful World Cornea Congress VI held in Boston (preceding the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery meeting)," said Michael W. Belin, M.D., one of the co-chairs of Cornea 2010, being held on Saturday, Oct. 16 in the Grand Ballroom.
The day will be broken into four sessions—one each on endothelial replacement, irregular cornea correction, innovations, and infectious/inflammatory disease and cross-linking. The day is peppered with opportunities to meet with colleagues and peers as well during its numerous refreshment and exhibit breaks.
