Program Brochure (PDF Format)

General Information
We designed this course, with simultaneous English-Spanish translation, for practicing ophthalmologists in Latin America and the Caribbean, to provide maximum emphasis on practical approaches to selected clinical problems. Every year, during the week following the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting, we gather together an outstanding guest faculty, and with the faculty of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, we present material specifically selected for its relevance to daily practice. In addition, an accompanying trade show with 50 commercial exhibitors will be available.

No AMA Continuing Education credits are given.
