Friday Highlights

ASCRS Subspecialty Day is comprised of three programs: ASCRS Cornea Day, ASCRS Glaucoma Day, and ASCRS Refractive Day. Registration for ASCRS Subspecialty Day unlocks access to all three programs. When registering, choose the Subspecialty Day program for which you wish to receive CME credits.

New in 2023! Registrants of ASCRS Subspecialty Day will have access to the inaugural Digital Day@ASCRS, sponsored by the Digital Ophthalmic Society (DOS). Digital Day centered around novel, technology-driven solutions with functional clinical integration. The ophthalmic world is now moving at an unparalleled and unprecedented speed, and Digital Day will identify the essentials to provide surgeons with advanced topic lectures, protocol development, and practice education.

ASCRS is pleased to provide hands-on YES Skills Labs designed exclusively for residents, fellows, and ophthalmologists in their first 5 years of practice. Separate registration is required; sign up when registering for the ASCRS Annual Meeting.

ASCRS has the largest wet lab experience, in terms of size and scope, for the anterior segment surgeon in the U.S.
