THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. WE WILL BE ADDING DETAILS IN THE COMING DAYS, INCLUDING THE NEW HOUSING REQUEST FORM. PLEASE CHECK BACK SOON.
The American Eye Study Club welcomes you to County Kildare in Ireland and the Kilkea Castle and Golf Resort!
This year, housing will be handled differently from past meetings. Since we are "buying out" the entire castle and all of the sleeping rooms, accommodations will be assigned internally. The preferences and needs of each member will be provided on a housing request form, and then the Club administrative office (primarily Kathy Paul) will match those needs with the most appropriate accommodation. Please review the details for accommodation choices and other important information below.

Meeting Dates:Sunday, July 28 through Friday, August 2, 2024
Overview Schedule for the week(PDF file) Note -- the last event of the conference is on Thursday evening with Friday departures.
PLEASE NOTE . .. As is true for all groups who negotiate special discounted pricing for conference attendees, the American Eye Study Club has signed a contract with the Kilkea Castle. Because of the special opportunities offered at the castle, we are buying out all of the accommodations, meaning AESC members and their families will be the only guests at the castle this week. We anticipate being able to meet the expectations and needs of all members. In the unlikely event that we "sell out," a waiting list will be established and "overflow" accommodations will be identified By staying at Kilkea Castle, though, you help the Club to meet its obligations, plus you experience the camaraderie that is a significant part of being a member of the American Eye Study Club!
