Sally Letson Symposium

The Sally Letson Symposium, brings together six to eight renowned international experts in the field of ophthalmology for a symposium featuring one major topic.

It was the wish of General and Mrs. Letson that the symposium be of current interest to ophthalmologists and feature lectures, question periods, and an exchange of experience among attending ophthalmologists.

Many of our faculty members along with the residents, fellows, Ophhtalmic Medical technology staff and Ophthalmic medical technology students attend this conference every year.
