The Cole Eye Institute Imaging Summit took place on Thursday, August 10, 2017 prior to the American Society of Retina Specialists (ASRS).

The is a CME symposium focusing on new advances in OCT imaging with hands-on imaging sessions. Attendees will be able to discuss current topics in tomography and imaging with a faculty of distinguished peers. Ocular imaging technology is an area of intense innovation with every year bringing better and more options to the clinic. Outcomes in vision care are best when ophthalmologists, retina specialists, and other eye care health practicioners remain informed of the latest ocular imaging capabilities. Following this course, learners will be able to better select appropriate diagnostic testing and better interpret those tests to improve patient care. Additionally, learners will be made aware of new and exciting modalities of ophthalmic imaging that can be implemented into their clinical practice.
