Gain the Knowledge and Resources to Successfully Build a Refractive Cataract Surgery Practice

This new course, spearheaded by ASCRS President Vance Thompson, MD, and developed with experienced program directors, combines intensive in-person instruction* with ongoing support and resources.

Apply for the 2025 Young Eye Surgeons International Service Grant
The ASCRS Foundation will be accepting grant applications for the 2025 Young Eye Surgeons International Service Grant—now through September 8.
The Young Eye Surgeons International Service Grant was created to inspire young eye surgeons to become involved with global eyecare on a long-term basis. The grant affords the opportunity to participate in healthcare systems, including teaching institutions and community programs, in developing countries.
Working with the ASCRS Foundation and its international partners, recipients will develop a customized international volunteer plan that provides the opportunity for a young eye surgeon to learn first-hand the intricacies behind global eyecare efforts.
