Vision organizations converge in Boston

Immediately preceding the ASCRS and ASOA annual meetings, several specialty-related events are slated, beginning with World Cornea Congress VI from April 7 to 9.

The Cornea Society sponsors the congress about every 5 years to highlight the progress that has been made in both clinical and research endeavors of the international corneal community. The three-day meeting will include both invited speakers and a call for papers, as well as a poster session each day and an exhibit hall.
