CORNEA
DAY
Sponsored by the ASCRS Cornea
Clinical Commiee
1
Glaucoma Day
Chaired by Leon Herndon Jr., MD, with 13
experts on the program committee and two
dozen invited faculty, Glaucoma Day will fea-
ture cutting-edge treatment options and clinical
advances that can ultimately improve patient
outcomes.
"The 2021 ASCRS Glaucoma Day will be an
outstanding opportunity for attendees to keep
abreast of the rapidly changing field of glauco-
ma," Dr. Herndon said. "The latest diagnostic
and therapeutic options for glaucoma patients
will be discussed and debated by experts in the
field."
Highlights include a keynote lecture by
Douglas Rhee, MD, focusing on future trends
in glaucoma care. Another feature is the 2021
Stephen A. Obstbaum, MD, Honored Lecture.
This year the lecture will be a panel of past
ASCRS glaucoma leadership. Dr. Herndon
said this panel—Reay Brown, MD, Thomas
Samuelson, MD, Richard Lewis, MD, and Dr.
Rhee—will discuss their collective observations
of innovations in ophthalmology in general
and glaucoma in particular that have made the
largest impacts on their careers.
Cornea Day
Edward Holland, MD, and Francis Mah, MD,
serve as chairs of this year's Cornea Day.
"We're very excited about this year's Cornea
Day, sponsored by the ASCRS Cornea Clinical
Committee," Dr. Holland said. "We will have
an outstanding program that's geared toward
corneal specialists but will also have a lot of in-
formation for comprehensive ophthalmologists."
There will be a video-based session on
cornea disasters, as well as a focus on lamellar
corneal surgery. Ocular surface disease will
be the topic of one of the afternoon sessions.
"Ocular surface disease affects every aspect
of ophthalmology, and therefore, it is a very
important topic for all clinicians," Dr. Holland
said. Additionally, a session on perspectives in
cornea looking at "where we were and where
we're going" will feature presentations from
well-established specialists in the field. "It will
be a fun session because I think it's important to
understand mistakes and successes in the past
to help guide us for the future," he said.
