The WV Academy of Eye Physicians and Surgeons invites you to our Annual Scientific Conference for eye medical professionals and technicians. Our distinguished speakers and small group lecturers will present information to further your knowledge and understanding of some of the newest practices and techniques in ophthalmology.
