2009 Meeting Schedule
Meeting Location Moved
Wills Eye Hospital is now located at:
840 Walnut Street, 8th Floor, Auditorium
Philadelphia, PA 19107
(see notice below regarding meetings)

 

The format of our meetings has changed, in order to increase attendance. We will have 10 hours of credit at the annual conference and 4 hours of credit at our spring brunch meeting in April. There will be no evening meetings this spring.


Our May 2008 dinner meeting was a big success!

 Part of the program was a game of Ophthalmic Jeopardy, designed by Cindy Diogo, COT in the format of the popular TV show and board game. The audience divided into teams, very competitive teams, to come up with the questions to some very difficult answers.

The winning team included: William Giles, COA, Susan Shannon, COA, Debbie DiCicco, COT and Michelle Woshnak.

Watch for the next Jeopardy challenge at a future meeting, a great way to test your knowledge and have a great time!

An excellent presentation on the old and new in cataract surgery was given by Dr. Robert Bailey and the program was sponsored by Alcon, Inc.


Meetings are held in the auditorium of Wills Eye Hospital, 840 Walnut Street, 8th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19107. Presentations start at 7:00 p.m. unless otherwise listed. For more information, please contact one of the officers. If a meeting has to be canceled due to inclement weather, it will be announced on KYW, 1060 AM radio.
