The Advances in Ophthalmology Dinner Lecture Series consists of multidisciplinary meetings hosted by UTHealth Houston Ophthalmology. These dinners gather local experts in ophthalmology and optometry, for presentations from subject matter experts, followed by discussion.
Each meeting will feature lectures from two to three physicians, and will be formatted to allow sufficient time for a question-and-answer period in order to provide an opportunity to explore the presented subject matter thoroughly. We expect the meetings to be highly interactive and full of scientific and clinical advances presented by local thought leaders in this discipline.
