2019 ISEPS/COS Annual Meeting
Frontiers and Controversies in Ophthalmology

Our 15th Year

Sponsored by the Illinois Society of Eye Physicians & Surgeons
and the Chicago Ophthalmological Society

 

Clinical Program for Ophthalmologists


Friday, March 8, 2019 (one day only)

Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL

Please join us for a dynamic day of superb clinical education that will appeal to ophthalmologists in every subspecialty.  The 2019 conference offers attendees lectures on cutting-edge topics and provacative discussion panels.

Running concurrently with the clinical sessions will be a full day of practice management presentations open to any attendee of the conference, but especially geared toward practice administrators and doctors with management responsibilities..

All physician attendees at the conference are invited to stay for the evening and attend the Presidents' Dinner, hosted by the ISEPS and COS presidents.  It will take place at Gibson's Steakhouse immediately across the street from the convention center.  This social event for doctors (and up to one guest) is a great time to catch up with friends and hobnob with the conference presenters.

Continuing Medical Education


Intended Audience

This program will be of interest to all practicing ophthalmologists, but in particular, those who are likely to encounter a variety of eye diseases and conditions in their practice.  Residents and fellows in training also would benefit from this program.  All attendees will find the advocacy, risk management and coding presentations to be especially useful.

Learning Objectives

The purpose of this program is to describe the latest advances in medical and surgical eye care and to discuss issues which are sometimes seen as the subject of controversy. Topics will include diagnostic and therapeutic consideration related to cataract, external eye diseases, refractive surgery, glaucoma, retinal diseases, neuro-ophthalmology, pediatrics, oculoplastics, ethics and practice management subjects.
