Truly one of a kind. I don’t think there is a conference comparable in terms of lab experience and speakers. Having some of the best ophthalmologists speak so passionately about their work is truly inspiring and motivating.

As a medical student, I found my experience with the wet lab incredibly beneficial and informative for my future career aspirations. I was fortunate to engage with leaders in the field of ophthalmic trauma, and I’m confident that the conversations I had will serve as a launching pad for meaningful mentorship and exciting career opportunities.

The depth of content and talent you [packed] into a single day was frankly astounding; a true “who’s who” of eye trauma luminaries all in one place!

All of the sessions were engaging and informative. Every speaker and lab mentor is a superstar and world expert in their field.

Every session and speaker was truly incredibly engaging and informative. The most touching was the medical missions, regarding real world trauma care challenges in austere, conflict, and disaster scenarios.

The size of the conference was appropriate for meaningful connections and attendings felt more approachable as a medical student.

Warm hospitality and incredible organization at the ASOT meeting. We had a wonderful time, a wonderful meeting and a chance to meet wonderful people.
