100% adding MOD Live to the list of meetings I plan to attend every year. Heading home with more new medical eyecare pearls than I can fit in a carry-on! Beautiful setting, a great mix of OD & MD presenters, and a perfect meeting size for making new connections. Thank you @modoptometty!

Easily one of the best ophthalmic events of the year. Not only was the attendee list rich with thought leaders and new young minds, access and interaction with them was fantastic. Our organization will prioritize attendance at this event in 2024.
