Hear From Our Innovation Fellow
As an Innovation Fellow in the OPTIC Lab at Penn Medicine, I recently had the privilege of attending the American Academy of Ophthalmology Conference. I attended cutting-edge lectures and symposiums focused on innovation and teleophthalmology, which offered me the opportunity to engage with industry leaders and experts, exchanging insights on the latest trends in the field. I also gained hands-on experience with advanced ophthalmic devices, further expanding my knowledge and skills.
In addition, I joined several meetings for our ongoing projects and collaborations. This experience was both inspiring and invaluable, reinforcing my dedication to innovation in eye care.
