The Canadian Glaucoma Society (CGS) Annual Meeting will be proceeding as an in-person meeting for 2021. The CGS Meeting will be one of the first ophthalmic meetings to resume in-person and we could not be more excited. The annual meeting is a key element of the CGS Membership. Being able to network with fellow colleagues and industry and share knowledge, offers many benefits to members in continuing to provide the best practice for patients.
