Fall 2024

 

Dear Friends and Colleagues:

 

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the Eighth Annual Sonoma Eye Meeting that will take place at the beautiful Rancho Bernardo Inn located in San Diego, California from March 20 to 23, 2025. Since it will be our eighth anniversary meeting, we have decided to host our 2025 Sonoma Eye in America’s Finest City!
 
As the role of inflammation has been unveiled and solidified across different segments of ophthalmic diseases, from cornea and external diseases, to uvea, retina and vitreous, and to orbit and optic nerve, 2025 Sonoma Eye will again bring together distinguished clinician scientists of different expertise to discuss how inflammation plays a role, peripheral or critical, in the pathogenesis of various ophthalmic diseases from dry eye to choroiditis, ulcerative keratitis to diabetic macular edema, thyroid eye diseases to giant cell arteritis, glaucoma to neovascular macular degeneration, retinal vasculitis to geographic atrophy. The Scientific Programs will also feature advances in the management of ophthalmic diseases that involve inflammation, including the development of new therapeutic options, targeting inflammatory pathways combined with others such as angiogenesis and vascular adhesion. In addition, the 2025 C. Stephen Foster, MD Lecture at Sonoma Eye will again be delivered by a distinguished clinician scientist.

 
Following the tremendous success of the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020-2021 (Virtual), 2022, 2023, and 2024 meetings, the 2025 Sonoma Eye Meeting will continue to foster and encourage many discussions among authorities in the fields and attendees as we expect tremendous learning and exchange of knowledge to occur throughout the various sessions.  In addition, we also dedicate time to less formal yet productive team building and networking activities for us and our families in fabulous San Diego! Special rates for accommodation have been arranged with the Rancho Bernardo Inn.

We sincerely hope that you will be able to join us at the Eighth Sonoma Eye Meeting in March 2025!
