64 | EYEWORLD DAILY NEWS | MAY 4, 2019 ONSITE ASCRS ASOA ANNUAL MEETING By completing the survey, respondents will provide import- ant data to help influence future education. Respondents will also be entered into a daily raffle to win several prizes. This fall, a supplement will be published in EyeWorld with a summary of the key findings from the survey. In addition, future presentations and publications will be developed based on the survey data and identified education needs in the coming year. T he 2019 ASCRS ASOA Annual Meeting marks the 7th annual ASCRS Clinical Survey. The 2019 survey builds on the success of prior surveys, in which thousands of ASCRS member ophthalmologists participated. ASCRS members can take the survey onsite now during the Annual Meeting. While many surveys yield im- portant data, the ASCRS Clinical Survey is unique in that it assesses key clinical opinions and practice patterns of ASCRS members to guide ASCRS' educational ac- tivities. Participants will also be entered into a raffle for various prizes. The survey asks ASCRS members key questions relating to current issues they regularly face. The goal is to obtain opin- ions and practice patterns from a significant percentage of the membership. The ASCRS Clinical Committees then review and inter- pret the results and make recom- mendations for future educational programming. Many symposia at this year's meeting incorporated data from prior surveys to develop content. The 2018 survey results were also used as criteria for driving more than 10 different ASCRS/Eye- World CME Education events at this year's Annual Meeting. High- lights of past survey results can be found at supplements.eyeworld. org. The 2019 ASCRS Clinical Survey will include a wide range of contemporary topics, including management of residual error in presbyopia-correcting IOL patients, assessment and manage- ment of dry eye and meibomian gland disease, how to mitigate or eliminate post-cataract surgery inflammation, management trends of glaucoma in conjunction with cataract surgery, and exposure of advanced techniques and technol- ogy to young physicians. How to participate ASCRS members can complete this survey in 15 minutes. The survey tool will permit members to identify their preferred category of questions (refractive, cataract, etc.) and will include about 60 questions on various topics. Phy- sicians can complete the survey in two different ways: 1. Physicians can go to ascrs2019. questionpro.com until May 31 to take the survey at their con- venience. 2. Physicians can take the ASCRS Clinical Survey in the Sails Pavil- ion of the San Diego Conven- tion Center today through Mon- day. Representatives will hand participants a tablet to complete the survey. While taking the sur- vey, participants can sit comfort- ably, charge up personal devices, and enjoy a cup of coffee.

New in 2019, the YES Skills Transfer Lab was exclusive to residents, fellows, and surgeons in their first 5 years of practice. This lab brought together ASCRS leadership, residency program directors, and faculty from across the U.S. for one-to-one instruction at each station. The lab had two sessions.
