Welcome
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
The 76th Annual Wills Eye Conference promises to be a memorable event with an exciting line-up of invited speakers supported by our outstanding faculty. As is tradition, we will have our signature case-based panel discussions during which the audience will have opportunities to engage with the program’s key learning points and apply them to clinical decision-making. Based on your feedback from prior years, we are introducing a new symposium this year highlighting innovative research that has emerged from our great institution, and we will showcase the groundbreaking work actively underway by our faculty.
We are delighted to introduce a new research program that starts Thursday morning, preceding the Free Paper Session. This free program will bring together basic science, applied research, and clinical researchers to highlight many innovative research programs occurring at Wills as well as with our many collaborators.
We hope that your experience at the Wills Eye Conference will be fulfilling and educational, and we are excited to connect with old friends and welcome new ones. We look forward to seeing you!
Sincerely,
Sunir J. Garg, MD
