“Can you do less to do more?” is the theme of our Mid-Winter Cornea Symposium. During the past few years, management of corneal diseases has undergone many changes. Advances in diagnosis and treatment have greatly enhanced what we can offer our patients. Our main objective is to engage the audience as we present the latest diagnostic and surgical techniques to comprehensive ophthalmologists and corneal specialists with the theme of simplifying things. Please bring questions! After completing this activity, ophthalmologists will be able to manage dry eye, ocular surface, and corneal endothelial diseases.
