Annual Mass Eye and Ear Vitrectomy Course
for First-year Vitreoretinal Fellows

Join us for our 16th Annual Vitrectomy Course, July 10-11, 2026. The Course offers first-year retina fellows from across the US an intensive and comprehensive introduction to vitreoretinal surgery, intended to ensure the best preparation for their fellowship. The course covers the theory and practice of vitreoretinal surgery, combining didactics, video, simulation lab, and wet lab under the direction of a group of eminent invited faculty in a setting with a low student-to-teacher ratio. The Course and meals are free, however registration is required.
