Eyeworld Daily News

by Vanessa Caceres EyeWorld Contributing Writer "The sheer volume of new information at our annual meeting is overwhelming. Let the medical editors of EyeWorld sift through the best papers and guide you on a rap- id-fire review and discussion of the 2015 meeting's 'greatest hits,'" Dr. Chang said. Panelists for the session will include Reay H. Brown, MD, Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, Bonnie An Henderson, MD, John A. Hovanesian, MD and John A. Vukich, MD. Selected PowerPoint slides and videos from the best presentations will be shown by EyeWorld editorial board members Husam Ansari, MD, PhD, Ehud I. Assia, MD, Elizabeth M. Hofmeister, MD, Bennie H. Jeng, MD, and Richard Tipperman, MD. "It is impossible to attend more than just a fraction of the symposia at our annual meeting," Dr. Chang said. "The idea behind 'Hot Off the Press' is to summarize some of the most important and interesting pa- pers from the meeting and to debate their implications and conclusions in a panel format." He added, "If you can only attend a single pro- gram from our annual meeting, this might be the best way to hear what is new and exciting in 2015." This dynamic session will be held today from 3:00–4:30 p.m. in ballroom 20ABC of the San Diego Convention Center. EW A SCRS is saving the best for last during today's "Hot Off the Press" session. This special wrap-up session will highlight and analyze the most important papers from the "Best Paper of Session" winners presented at the 2015 ASCRS•ASOA Symposium & Congress, as selected by EyeWorld magazine editorial board members. Following summary presenta- tions of the best papers, the spe- cialty section editors of EyeWorld will debate the implications and conclusions in a free-flowing panel discussion. David F. Chang, MD, chief medical editor of EyeWorld, will moderate the session.
