COS Quarterly Conferences

The Chicago Ophthalmological Society for more than 130 years has provided ophthalmologists and residents/fellows in training a superior educational experience along with opportunities to network with colleagues from throughout Chicagoland.

Conferences include a guest speaker, as well as case presentations by residents from each of the six training programs in Chicago.  The Krill Lecture conference is jointly sponsored by the Rabb Retina Study Group and provides case presentations from members of the community while our joint conference with the Chicago Glaucoma Society presents quality clinical information about this critical eye disease.

As details are available for each meeting, links below will be activated, as well as registration.
