You Didn’t Ask for This Fight

The fight isn’t over to stop the cuts to physician reimbursement and other attacks on how you deliver care. ASCRS continues to fight for you, and you can help, too.

Join the fight by donating to eyePAC, the Society’s voluntary, non-partisan political action committee representing ophthalmic surgeons. Donations to eyePAC help strengthen ASCRS advocacy efforts.

Your contribution makes a difference as we work to educate key members of Congress on issues important to you and your patients, like physician reimbursement, prior authorization, and more.

Take Your Practice from Good to Great

The Business of Refractive Cataract Surgery (BRiCS) Summit will take place October 3–5 in Chicago, Illinois.

Enrollment is limited—the small class size facilitates better learning, authentic discussion, and more meaningful mentorship. So register early to ensure a spot for your practice team to attend this deep-dive course that will help you grow your advanced-technology IOL practice with confidence.

“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
