Ophthalmic Business Council
For more than 30 years, the Foundation has facilitated the Ophthalmic Business Council (OBC) with the goal of fostering communication among leaders in the ophthalmic community. The OBC provides an ideal forum for thought leaders from the Academy, industry, government and health policy to collaborate face-to-face on ways to improve patient care.
OBC members are invited to attend two essential symposia with unparalleled networking opportunities with Academy physician leaders and industry experts.
