"The Annual Meeting is attend- ed by physicians at every level, and we want to provide education that is applicable to everyone," said Ed- ward Holland, MD, ASCRS Program Committee chair. "Every attendee— whether new in practice or someone with decades of experience—can benefit from the ESSENTIALS Track. Having a sound grasp on the fun- damental knowledge in anterior segment surgery will allow clinicians to stress less in surgery." The ESSENTIALS Track covers a variety of topics including retina essentials for cataract and refractive surgery, IOL refractive outcomes, cornea, glaucoma, astigmatism man- agement, and more. The sessions are spread out over the meeting, from April 14–16. Each session will enrich attendees' knowledge so they can enhance patient outcomes.
