WCCV 2005: WASHINGTON, DC · of the Role of Inflammation in Ocular Surface Disease Stephen C....

Dear Colleague:

We invite you to join us in Washington, DC, as the Cornea Society hosts World Cornea

Congress V at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, April 13–15, 2005.

Previous World Cornea Congress meetings have been pivotal events in the subspecialty.

The Congress is held every 10 years and is an important career highlight for all special-

ists in cornea and external disease, corneal and refractive surgery, and eye banking.

Topics to be covered in the 2-day session include corneal wound healing, ocular

surface disease, refractive surgery, infection and immunology, keratoplasty, ocular

infection and immunology, keratoconus, contact lenses, dystrophies, degenerations,

molecular biology of corneal disease, world health, and eye banking. Sessions for free

papers and posters are planned, and the program will feature keynote addresses by

international leaders in the field.

On pages 13–15, you will find the information and forms you need to register for the

meeting and reserve a hotel room. Please keep in mind that you must be registered

for the meeting to reserve a hotel room.

The Grand Hyatt Hotel is located in the heart of Washington’s business and federal

districts, just steps from the Washington Convention Center, MCI Center, the White

House, and the free monuments and museums of the city. It is also in close proximity

to many renowned theaters and restaurants. The hotel has direct underground access

to the Metro subway and is located at Metro Center, which makes getting around this

world-class city a breeze.

Please plan to join us at the Library of Congress on Thursday, April 14, for a reception

in the world’s largest library. We also have a special opening session planned for

Thursday morning, April 14, honoring many exceptional leaders in the field of corneal

and external disease. We look forward to seeing you in April.

Edward J. Holland, MD, Co-Director

Mark J. Mannis, MD, Co-Director

See you in Washington, DC!

• Better understand and define the roleof pupil size in refractive surgeryoutcomes

Continuing MedicalEducation (CME)This activity has been planned andimplemented in accordance with theEssential Areas and Policies of theAccreditation Council for ContinuingMedical Education (ACCME) through thejoint sponsorship of the AmericanSociety of Cataract and RefractiveSurgery (ASCRS) and The CorneaSociety. ASCRS is accredited by theACCME to provide continuing medicaleducation for physicians and takesresponsibility for the content, quality andscientific integrity of this CME activity.

C O N T I N U I N G M E D I C A L E D U C A T I O N I N F O R M A T I O N

CME CreditThe American Society of Cataract andRefractive Surgery designates thiseducational activity for a maximum of16 Category 1 credits toward the AMAPhysician’s Recognition Award. Eachphysician should claim only the hoursof credit that he/she actually spent inthe activity.

The American Medical Association hasdetermined that physicians not licencedin the US who participate in this CMEactivity are eligible for AMA PRAcategory 1 credit.

Target AudienceThis educational activity is intended forophthalmologists with an interest incorneal and external disease.

Educational ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this program,attendees will be able to:• Increase their understanding of

corneal wound healing• Better understand the evolution of

keratoplasty• Review dystrophies, degenerations,

and molecular genetics• Assess the role of inflammation in

ocular surface disease• Learn the diagnosis and manage-

ment of fungal keratitis• Review the development of global

standards in eye banking
