Challenges and controversies in cataract surgery will be a major focus of Thursday's program, and other sessions throughout the meeting will ASCRS Winter Break set for 2020 in Utah touch on glaucoma, meeting expectations in refractive cataract surgery, corneal and ocular surface disease, some of the basics and "not- so-basics" of cataract surgery, and a legislative update.
