ASCRS ANNUAL MEETING DAILY NEWS
patients will be discussed and
debated by experts in the field."
Highlights include a key-
note lecture by Douglas Rhee,
MD, focusing on future trends in
glaucoma care. Another feature is
the 2021 Stephen A. Obstbaum,
MD, Honored Lecture. This year,
the lecture will be a panel of past
ASCRS glaucoma leadership. Dr.
Herndon said this panel—Reay
Brown, MD, Thomas Samuelson,
MD, Richard Lewis, MD, and Dr.
Rhee—will discuss their collec-
tive observations of innovations
in ophthalmology in general and
glaucoma in particular that have
made the largest impacts on their
careers.
Glaucoma Day begins with
the joint ASCRS/AGS symposium,
which will feature several pre-
sentations on handling a patient
with glaucoma and a visually
significant cataract. Presentations
will cover presbyopia-correcting
IOL options for these patients,
cataract/MIGS combination pro-
cedures, complications like loose
zonules, and more.
In the next section of the
morning, "Glaukomtecken" will
take a look at technology that's
available now in glaucoma care
and pearls for using the technolo-
gy physicians already have, along
with presentations on what's
coming on this front.
Later in the morning, experts
will cover medication—new types
and delivery methods—and lasers,
specifically pros and cons of SLT
as a first-line therapy.
Afternoon educational of-
ferings put the spotlight on
surgical glaucoma, the various
MIGS options, when to consid-
er conventional surgery, and
more. Rounding out the day are
a "Retina Crossover" section and
the 11th Annual Complications
and "Reay of Hope" Video Case
Presentations.
