Saturday Highlights

With its sights on the future but a nod to its heritage, ASCRS kicks off the Annual Meeting with the Opening General Session.  

The Binkhorst Lecture and medal were established in 1975 in honor of intraocular lens (IOL) pioneer Cornelius D. Binkhorst, MD (1912-1995). 

The David A. Karcher Honored Guest Award honors luminaries who have invested in a lifetime of service to ASCRS.

Endowed by a generous gift from David & Victoria Chang, the ASCRS Foundation's Chang-Crandall Humanitarian Award was established to honor and recognize outstanding humanitarian work in the area of cataract blindness. 

The ASCRS Ophthalmology Hall of Fame was created by ASCRS to honor ophthalmic pioneers whose contributions to the profession have shaped the way modern ophthalmology is practiced today.

Start your annual meeting by attending one of the round table discussions with the experts. No pre-registration required. Seating and selection of topics/experts will be on a first come, first-served basis. Attendance for this session is limited to ASCRS MD/PhD registrations only.
