Overview
The American Eye Study Club – founded in 1956 – is dedicated to advancing the profession of ophthalmology and ophthalmic scientific development through education and open discussion. Its 200 members come from all subspecialties and represent the top-tier in the profession, including nine past-presidents of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, directors of the American Board of Ophthalmology, numerous department chairs and faculty in academic centers, and leaders of large practices throughout the country. Members – who must be invited to join – also are actively involved in ophthalmic research and business. For six decades, AESC members have gathered annually for a week-long conference of lectures and discussion focusing on critical issues and new developments in ophthalmology.
With the 2023 conference, the AESC is midway through its seventh decade. The 65th meeting promises to be another record attendance of more than 70 members. It will take place in on the South Carolina coast near Charleston (just a 30 minute drive from the Charleston airport).
The program book – usually about 40 pages in length – is used by all meeting participants throughout the week. It also is distributed to new members inducted into the organization and is posted on the AESC website. With a printed version of the directory, this document can be expected to have good “shelf-life.

Sponsor Opportunities
On-site Exhibits
Beginning in 2017, the AESC began making available a limited number of tabletop display spaces on the first (and highest attended) day of the conference. As a result of the positive reaction from attendees and exhibitors last year, we are continuing this opportunity in 2018. The exhibit area will be immediately adjacent to the lecture room and the breakfast/break area, assuring exposure to all of the meeting attendees. Exhibits will be open from 7:00 a.m. through the end of the morning session at about 12:30 p.m., affording five continuous hours of opportunity to visit with AESC attendees.
