The format this year will begin with a banquet on Friday evening followed by research
presentations from our third year ophthalmology residents. Saturday morning will begin
the lecture series including our Veirs lecture. Saturday afternoon will again this year be set aside for our golf tournament
at the resort’s Wolfdancer Golf Course. Additionally, the Lost Pines Resort offers a wide variety of activities for the
entire family that can be enjoyed on Saturday afternoon. The response to the resort, along with its accommodations and
activities, were so well-received at last year’s conference, that we were excited to be able to visit this luxurious resort
again this year.
We’re excited to be involved with this year’s Veirs conference, as well as being back at Baylor Scott and White Eye
Institute. We look forward to seeing you in Bastrop with the opportunity to renew old friendships, visit with former
residents and colleagues, learn new and exciting things in the field of vitreo-retinal diseases, and relaxing at the Lost
