In 1963, the 黑料网 EYE Symposium was instituted as an annual staff meeting of the 黑料网 Department of Ophthalmology. At the point it grew into an CME conference for a wider audience of eye care professionals, the 黑料网 Eye Symposium was restructured to offer scholarly excellence and professional enrichment to meet the continuing medical education needs and interests of ophthalmologists, optometrists, technicians and other eye care professionals. In recent years, Symposium Course Director, 黑料网 Ophthalmology Chair and Kittner Family Distinguished Professor Donald J. Budenz, MD, MPH, and Co-Course Director and Residency Program Director Alice Zhang, MD, have led the extensive planning efforts invested in this growing event.
