Abstract Submissions
New members: the last day for completed membership applications and all supporting documentation to be received, including references and fellowship verification, is May 25, 2023.
Late-Breaking Abstract Submissions
ASRS Regular, FIT, and International Members are invited to submit one late-breaking abstract even if they have already accepted an invitation to present a paper at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Non-members and Ophthalmology Resident Members may not submit an abstract in this category.
Requirements are as follows:
- Priority will be given to first-time results of clinical trials that have not been presented to date.
- Abstracts must be true late breakers (i.e. data was not available at time of original abstract deadline in January).
- Late-breaking abstracts will be interspersed into the scientific symposia on Saturday, July 29 through Tuesday, August 1. Members should ensure their availability over these dates before submitting.
Important notes:
- Substitute presenters are NOT allowed. The abstract submitter will be listed as the lead author; this cannot be changed after acceptance of an invitation.
- Only lead authors are required to submit a financial disclosure since they (and not co-authors) are considered to be in control of the educational content. Co-author names will be acknowledged; however, their disclosures will not be published or resolved.
- Please be sure to read the FAQs about financial disclosures, especially if you hold an executive role with an ineligible company (i.e. named title such as Chief Officer).
