Take Your Practice from Good to Great
ASCRS and ASOA are excited to announce the return of the Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery (BRiCS) Summit—October 3–5 in Chicago, Illinois. This deep-dive course will help you grow your advanced-technology IOL practice with confidence!
Enrollment is limited—the small class size facilitates better learning, discussion, and ongoing support. Register early to ensure a spot for your practice team.
“I have essentially doubled my conversion percentage, which was my initial goal. I do believe one aspect that I (and probably others) overlook is the confidence factor. I gained more confidence in the ATIOLs just from hearing about personal experiences from [Dr. Vance Thompson] and all the others that spoke at the conference.” —Jeff Holt, MD, 2024 BRiCS attendee, Holt Eye Clinic, Arkansas
