Up Close and Personal: ASCRS 2022 Impressions
In part 2 of our digital supplement, the brightest ophthalmology stars profess their feelings for the ASCRS Congress
What do Esen Akpek, John Berdahl, Eric Donnenfeld, John Hovanesian, Soosan Jacob, Douglas Koch, Ben LaHood, Samuel Masket, Jeff Pettey, and even Christina Weng have in common? They all sat down – in person or virtually – with editor Aleksandra Jones, and shared their fondest memories of ASCRS congresses past, their favorite moments from April’s event, participants who stood out for them this year, perspectives on the field’s biggest breakthroughs, and predictions for the future of cataract and refractive surgery, and of in-person events.
Having edited several technical publications over the last decade, I crossed paths with quite a few of Texere's current team members, and I only ever heard them sing the company's praises. When an opportunity arose to join Texere, I jumped at the chance! With a background in literature, I love the company's ethos of producing genuinely engaging content, and the fact that it is so well received by our readers makes it even more rewarding.
