18 | 2026 ASCRS PREVIEW PROGRAM ASCRS PROGRAM SYMPOSIA: FRIDAY, APRIL 10— MONDAY, APRIL 13 1:30–3:00 p.m. The Best of Military and Civilian Refractive Surgery For more than 20 years, the U.S. Military has invested in refractive surgery for active-duty service members with military ophthalmologists performing more than 15,000 refractive surgeries per year. Civilian ophthalmologists also have significant experience but may have different patient populations with different visual demands and financial priorities. This symposium will bring together the strengths and cumulative experience from both groups to help enhance the performance of each. Moderators: James Bailey, MD, Daniel Chang, MD, Charisma Evangelista, MD 1:30–3:00 p.m. ASCRS Glaucoma Survivor – Temporal Island Symposium 2026 In this fast-paced symposium including video and case-based content, our glaucoma guru contestants will compete for the audience vote by presenting their takes on a variety of glaucoma topics alongside a panel of experts. After multiple rounds of increasing difficulty challenging our glaucoma gods more than a full threshold visual field, we'll see if the Survivor has what it takes to rule Temporal Island.

We will discuss preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative risks in these complex eyes and pearls for how to approach cataract surgery.
