Dan Durrie, MD, 2020 Pender Lecturer and NEOS Guest of Honor

The afternoon academic session of the 782nd meeting of the New England Ophthalmological Society (NEOS) featured Dan Durrie, MD as the 2020 Pender Lecturer on December 4, 2020. Dr. Durrie is an internationally renowned eye surgeon and refractive surgery specialist. His virtual presentation on office-based cataract surgery addressed the need for patient safety and cost reduction as the population ages and the number of surgeries grows. While traditional outpatient surgery has been performed predominately in multi-specialty ambulatory surgical centers, Dr. Durrie listed the advantages for office-based procedures. His company, iOR, has developed over 70 operating suites for ophthalmologists nationwide. Dr. Pender was given the honor to introduce Dr. Durrie to the members of NEOS.
