\nOn Saturday, April 13th, UNC Ophthalmology faculty, trainees and ophthalmic techs joined eye care professionals from across the Southeast at the William & Ida Friday Conference Center in Chapel Hill, NC, for the 2024 UNC EYE Symposium. Each year, this day-long event updates physician eye specialists and ophthalmic technicians on the latest in evidence-based diagnostic and medical\/surgical approaches to comprehensive eye care and management of ocular disorders and disease. The symposium also provides a forum for attendees to network and share application-to-practice knowledge via lectures and hands-on learning. This year’s symposium drew a record high number of eye care professionals (213 attendees<\/strong>), surpassing the 2023 Symposium\u2019s total attendance by 50!<\/p>\n

Thank you to all of the expert faculty and guest speakers, contributors and attendees who made UNC Ophthalmology’s spring 2024 UNC EYE Symposium our biggest year yet.\u00a0 UNC Ophthalmology looks forward to hosting next year’s UNC EYE Symposium in spring 2025. Check back later this year for information on how to register for the 2025 UNC EYE Symposium!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
