ASRS no contact policy
Since lead authors attest to maintain complete control of educational content, it is never appropriate for advertising, marketing, or communication firms whose clients are ineligible companies to contact ASRS staff directly.
NOTE: ASRS's abstracts are not available to the general public. Registered participants will receive access to the abstracts via the mobile app approximately one week prior to the meeting.
Educational Objectives and Purpose
The goal of the ASRS 44th Annual Meeting is to improve the competence of vitreoretinal specialists to diagnose and treat vitreous and retinal disorders and diseases using the most advanced concepts and techniques available. The ASRS 44th Annual Meeting will provide a forum for rapid dissemination of the most recent scientific research results to the target audience in attendance. Its purpose is to allow the presentation of new and ongoing research data to assist practicing vitreoretinal specialists in maintaining knowledge and skills in their medical field.
Upon completion of the scientific sessions, participants shall be able to describe the findings, diagnosis, and treatment of various vitreoretinal disorders such as macular degeneration, choroidal neovascularization, diabetic retinopathy, venous occlusive disease, macular holes, epiretinal membranes, ocular inflammatory disease, tumors, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, retinal degenerations, and retinal detachment.
