This activity reinforces the standard of care for common pediatric ophthalmology problems including strabismus and all aspects of pediatric ophthalmology.  Faculty will integrate into their presentations the recommended screening guidelines set forth by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. Consensus will be queried with regards to practice patterns and management strategies.

Difficult and uncommon cases along with video presentations will be presented in an informal setting which will allow for open discussion about differential diagnosis, treatment options, and co-morbidities by the audience. Each member of the audience is invited to bring interesting or difficult cases which have proved to be challenging from a diagnostic and management standpoint.  Case series and research results will also be presented.

Please note: In-person participation is limited and requires full vaccination. Masking and social distancing will be practiced onsite.
