ood news everyone! While the world continues to react to the announcement of a potential coronavirus vaccine that is up to 90% effective, we can perhaps start daring to dream that the pandemic’s end is in sight. While we continue to watch with bated breath and hope this potential Pfizer vaccine will work, there is yet more good news still. The last big conference of the ophthalmological year is upon us! The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) annual meeting is about to take place and the ophthalmology community is abuzz with excitement. Scheduled to have been held in Las Vegas, Nevada, this year’s event is online of course, but that likely won’t stop the AAO from putting on a show for us all. There will be 100 hours of scheduled live broadcasting and up to 700 hours of additional content for you to consume at your leisure. The AAO 2020 Virtual conference will run from Friday, November 13 to Sunday, November 15, and starts on each day at 07:30am, running until 4:00pm (Pacific Standard Time). This will give you plenty of time to consume as much awesome
ophthalmology content as possible. You can even keep the spirit of Las Vegas going by playing blackjack in the breaks between each session, or maybe dress up Cont. on Page 3 >>
