Overview

The American Eye Study Club – founded in 1956 – is dedicated to advancing the profession of ophthalmology and ophthalmic scientific development through education and open discussion. Its 200 members come from all subspecialties and represent the top-tier in the profession, including nine past-presidents of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, directors of the American Board of Ophthalmology, numerous department chairs and faculty in academic centers, and leaders of large practices throughout the country. Members – who must be invited to join – also are actively involved in ophthalmic research and business. For six decades, AESC members have gathered annually for a week-long conference of lectures and discussion focusing on critical issues and new developments in ophthalmology.

The 2017 conference is the AESC’s Diamond Jubilee celebrating six decades. The 60th meeting promises to draw a record attendance of more than 85 members.  It will be held overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel hotel in Dana Point, Calfornia.

The program book – usually about 40 pages in length – is used by all meeting participants throughout the week. It also is distributed to new members inducted into the organization and is posted on the AESC website. With a printed version of the directory, this document can be expected to have good “shelf-life.
