What are you most looking forward to at the American Academy of Ophthalmology's 2021 conference?
I'm Dr Jim Auran. I'm a professor of ophthalmology at Columbia University and I've had the honor of being president of the American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma for the past 2 years.

We have a poster session and a symposium. Trauma has been the poor stepchild of ophthalmology for a long time.

I guess it just hit a critical point about 2 to 3 years ago and here we are.
