March 2014 by Erin L. Boyle EyeWorld Senior Staff Writer The Sunday Summit to highlight genetics, state of the art in subspecialties T his year's General Session on Sunday, A pril 27, The Sunday Summit, will offer attendees a chance to hear a renowned science writer discuss genetics in the ASCRS Lecture on Science and Medicine, and see a new program called "60 Minutes: Future Directions in Anterior Segment Surgery." "Each morning of the annual meeting, we have a General Session that starts the day, and each year we look at changing up our format," said Edward J. Holland, MD, chair of the ASCRS Program Committee. "This year, the Program Committee d ecided to change the format of the Sunday General Session, and we came up with this concept of The Sunday Summit." "We have two sessions for The Sunday Summit—the ASCRS Lecture on Science and Medicine and then a brand new program called '60 Minutes,'" he said. The Sunday Summit will run from 10:00 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the ASCRS Lecture on Science and Medicine from 10:00 to 11 a.m. and "60 Minutes: Future Directions in Anterior Segment Surgery" from 11:00 a.m. until 12 p.m. About The Sunday Summit The Sunday Summit will offer attendees a unique look at an interesting topic, as well as the latest from leading ophthalmologists in several subspecialties, all within two hours on Sunday morning. "We tried to pack an incredible amount of information that was clinically relevant, useful, and inter- esting into a small period of time," Dr. Holland said. "I don't think the audience will have an opportunity to get this at any other meeting. The Sunday Summit is a great chance for the ophthalmologist to hear some new and exciting clinical informa- tion." ASCRS Lecture on Science and Medicine This year's ASCRS Lecture on Science and Medicine will be given by Adam Rutherford, PhD, on "Creation: The History and Future of Life, DNA, and Genes." This lecture is always popular with attendees, Dr. Holland said, and features an expert in the field of medicine outside of ophthalmology who discusses topics of interest within the specialty. Dr. Rutherford is "a leader in this emerging field of evolution in genetics and synthetic human biology," Dr. Holland said. Dr. Rutherford holds a PhD from University College London. "He is a well-known speaker in Europe and a well-published author, and his latest book, Creation, has received praised from numerous publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Smithsonian Magazine, L.A. Times, and The Observer," Dr. Holland said. "We're very excited to have him and think he will be of great interest to our audience." 60 Minutes The new "60 Minutes: Future Direc- tions in Anterior Segment Surgery" will be moderated by Dr. Holland and feature a panel of experts including Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, East Meadow, N.Y., Bonnie An Henderson, MD, Boston, and Richard A. Lewis, MD, Sacramento, Calif. Dr. Holland said this session in The Sunday Summit will be based on the television news show 60 Minutes and will feature parts of the show familiar to viewers. The pro- gram will showcase a series of talks on the future of anterior segment surgery by experts in numerous aspects of the field. "They will discuss the state of the art of each major subspecialty in ophthalmology and give their predictions for future trends in the next three to five years," he said. Donald TH Tan, FRCS, Singapore, will present the "Cornea Surgery" portion of the program; Thomas Kohnen, MD, Frankfurt, Germany, will present the "Presbyopia Correction" portion; Reay H. Brown, MD, Atlanta, will present the "Glaucoma Surgery" portion; Richard L. Lindstrom, MD, Minneapolis, will present the "Refractive Surgery" portion; David F. Chang, MD, Los Altos, Calif., will present the "Cataract Surgery" portion; and Kent Stiverson, MD, Denver, will present "An Alternative Model for Eye Care Delivery." "'60 Minutes' brings together world-class experts who will give their predictions of what's going to happen in the next few years, where we should all be in our practice in anterior segment surgery, so I think this information will be vital to ophthalmologists planning for the future," Dr. Holland said.
