UPDATE by Denise Monasterio ASCRS Communications Manager ASCRS EyeConnect goes mobile Screenshots of the EyeConnect 365 app Source: ASCRS Connect anytime, anywhere C ollaboration and peer-to- peer communication are vital aspects to the mem- bership of ASCRS. To help facilitate and bolster even more interaction and discussion between members, ASCRS unveiled EyeConnect. EyeConnect is ASCRS' popular online discussion forum that allows members to communicate directly with each other. More than 1,400 members actively participate and belong to one or more discussion groups. In an effort to provide this service to our members anytime, anywhere, ASCRS created EyeCon- nect 365—a mobile app where users can interact on the go. Using the EyeConnect 365 app, members are able to access all avail- able discussion communities. Users can comment and share information on topics such as cataract/refractive, glaucoma, and cornea—just as they would with the desktop platform. The Inbox tab keeps users notified about the latest developments from the discussion communities users subscribe to on EyeConnect. And, members are kept up-to-date on all things ASCRS, including ASCRS• ASOA Symposium & Congress up- dates through the Announcements tab. EyeConnect 365 is now avail- able in the Apple App store and the Google Play store. To download the app: • Search for EyeConnect 365 in your relevant app store. • Tap the app (in the Apple App store) or select the app (in the Google Play store). • Tap "Get" (in the Apple App store) or tap "Install" (in the Google Play store). • The app will then download to your mobile device. Get involved today and join the conversations on EyeConnect and EyeConnect 365. Go to www. ascrs.org/ascrs-membership/be- come-a-member to become a mem- ber of ASCRS today.
