Abstract:
The New Orleans Academy of Ophthalmology proudly presented its 51st Annual Symposium from February 22nd to February 24th, 2002. Entitled "Wavefront and Emerging Refractive Technologies," it proved to be an exciting update on the principles of wavefront technology, as well as a glimpse into the future of this exploding field. Dr. Marguerite McDonald is to be thanked for heading up the program committee that organized an excellent meeting. Amber Howell, executive director of the academy, also deserves recognition for working to make the meeting the success that it was. Dr. George Ellis, Jr., president during the meeting, and the members of the executive committee all also deserve thanks. The internationally recognized faculty assembled by Dr. McDonald generously shared their experience and techniques with a large audience, and then expanded on their presentations in the many round tables and question and answer sessions.
