EyeCare Partners’ Leadership and Clinical Research to be Showcased at American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) Annual Meeting

EyeCare Partners (ECP), the nation’s leading provider of clinically integrated eye care, today announced more than 20 of its physicians will be presenting the latest innovative modalities and mechanisms across a wide range of ophthalmic disciplines in 90 sessions at the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS). The annual meeting will take place May 5-8, 2023, in San Diego.

The breadth of topics being presented at ASCRS by ECP physicians emphasizes the company’s culture of innovation and continuous learning. It also underscores the possibility of a career “third pathway” which allows physicians to conduct industry-leading research while also continuing to build a clinical practice.

“EyeCare Partners has a strong representation of ophthalmologists presenting research at ASCRS this year, in addition to one of our specialists, Dr. Elizabeth Yeu, serving as the incoming president of ASCRS,” said David Clark, CEO of EyeCare Partners. “We are committed to elevating eye care, and we are proud to work with many ophthalmologists who are leading educators in their field and committed to advancing eye care through innovation and clinical research.”
