CME – 8th Annual Doheny-UCLA Glaucoma Symposium and Hands-on Wet Lab Session
Join us for the 8th Annual Doheny-UCLA Glaucoma Symposium, bringing together leading glaucoma specialists, cataract surgeons, residents, fellows, and comprehensive ophthalmologists for a full day of cutting-edge education focused on emerging technologies, surgical innovation, and real-world clinical decision-making.
This year’s program highlights advances in home IOP monitoring, minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS), minimally invasive bleb surgery (MIBS), traditional glaucoma surgeries, sustained-release drug delivery, complex glaucoma management, surgical complication avoidance, and next-generation treatment strategies. Through expert lectures, case-based discussions, and interactive wet labs, attendees gain practical experience with the latest devices and technologies shaping glaucoma care.
