Optometric Glaucoma Symposium

The Optometric Glaucoma Symposium is an “in-person only” event. It will not be live streamed, and it will not be possible to attend virtually.

Book your Glaucoma 360 hotel accommodations at the Westin St. Francis San Francisco, located on Union Square in San Francisco. The deadline to book a sleeping room at The Westin St. Francis is January 14, 2025. After this date, the hotel will need to be contacted directly to confirm availability.

Glaucoma 360 is the inspiration of Adrienne Graves, PhD and Andrew Iwach, MD, who are both members of the Glaucoma Research Foundation (GRF) Board of Directors. Dr. Graves is a visual scientist by training, a global industry leader in ophthalmology, and the former CEO of Santen Inc. Dr. Iwach, GRF’s Board Chair, is Executive Director of the Glaucoma Center of San Francisco and the Glaucoma Research and Education Group, Associate Clinical Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of California at San Francisco, and a faculty instructor at the California Pacific Medical Center Department of Ophthalmology.
