Vanguard Ophthalmology Society

The 3rd Annual Vanguard Ophthalmology Society Annual Meeting was held in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from February 1-3, 2013. Nearly twenty VOS members from all over the country attended and shared our clinical and practice management experiences. In the closed scientific session, members shared personal experiences with diagnostics and treatment of ocular surface, cornea, cataract/IOL, and glaucoma. Practice management, coding, and health care systems issues were covered as well.

It is a privilege to share our expertise with the eye surgeons who visit our centers.  Over the years, publications, professional meetings and more recently, online resources (blogs and video) have been the options available.  I still find, however, we learn the most from each other by visiting practices and operating rooms to immerse ourselves in the experience.  It’s amazing how many ways a cat can be skinned!

Seven new members of Vanguard Ophthalmology Society were introducted at our meeting during the 2012 Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology.

Several Vanguard Ophthalmology Society members served as panelists and presenters at the Annual Meeting of the International Society of Refractive Surgeons (ISRS), Refractive Surgery 2012: The Era of Laser and Lenses.
