Eyes On Eyecare has officially opened registration to eyecare professionals (ECPs) for the largest virtual eyecare event of the year: Eyes On 2027.
Where do we begin?
This virtual conference invites eyecare providers—ophthalmologists, optometrists, and others—to two days of jam-packed clinical sessions covering the latest in retina, ocular surface, glaucoma, myopia, and more.
Program Chair Cecelia C. Koetting, OD, MPH, FAAO, Dipl ABO, offered a sneak peek of what attendees can expect:
- “We’ll challenge traditional thinking, explore emerging clinical paradigms, and focus on smarter, more intentional patient care,” she said.
From complex disease management to the real-world integration of new tools and technologies, Dr. Koetting emphasized “this isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about shaping the future of our profession.”
