Be sure to mark your calendar for this year's Section Symposium:
"Management of Adult Strabismus: Controversies & Conundrums"
Wednesday, October 23 3:00 - 5:00 PM
Strabismus treatment is not only for kids! Adult strabismus, whether recent-onset or longstanding, compromises binocular function, can cause diplopia and other symptoms, and is associated with wide-ranging effects on various aspects of patients' lives, particularly psychosocial functioning. Clinical pearls for non-surgical and surgical management and pre- and post-surgical considerations for patients with adult strabismus will be provided. Speakers are Susan Cotter, OD, MS, FAAO, David Stager Sr., MD, Jonathan M. Holmes, MD, and Richard London, MS, OD, FAAO.
We look forward to seeing you all at our fabulous section reception. The exact days and times of this event and more will be coming out soon!
We look forward to seeing you in Seattle.
Dr. Catherine L. Heyman
Section Chair
