2021 COS Annual Meeting Call for Abstracts
COS is now accepting abstracts online for the 2021 COS Annual Meeting. The abstract submission deadline is Monday, November 9, 2020 at 11:59 PM ET.
In addition to paper (oral) presentations, we are pleased to introduce two additional forms of presentation:
- ePosters: Say goodbye to poster tubes and printing – All accepted posters will be offered as electronic poster (ePoster) presentations.
- Surgical Videos: Show off your surgical skills by submitting a video. COS is now accepting surgical videos to be displayed alongside the ePosters (maximum five (5) minutes in duration).
The COS Annual Meeting historically boasts an 80+% acceptance rate with abstracts making up over 50% of all presentations. With so many abstracts, it is important to set your research apart – follow these keys to a successful submission when drafting your abstract or editing your video:
- Follow all abstract guidelines; read and understand the rejection criteria.
- List all authors/co-authors/producers; and declare all financial interests for each author/co-author/producer.
- Indicate that ethics approval has been obtained, where required.
- Submit your abstract to the appropriate subspecialty session.
- Include a short descriptive title and avoid gratuitous statements and irrelevant information.
- Provide an abstract that is clear, concise and free of errors.
- Papers and ePosters:
- In the body of your abstract, include study details under the headings: Purpose, study design, methods, results and conclusions. Abstracts with “results pending” or “conclusions to be discussed” will not be accepted. Information about sample size, study duration, follow-up, techniques used, etc. should be included.
- Surgical Videos:
- Submit a video that is well-edited, clear and easy to follow.

Webinar- Innovative Treatment Trends in Neovascular Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy
Date: Wednesday , Sep 23, 2020
Time: 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM EDT
Target Audience:
The intended audience for this activity is ophthalmologists and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Overview:
Visual outcomes in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) have been greatly enhanced through the integration of anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies into treatment protocols. In DR, early intervention with anti-VEGF therapies has demonstrated significant slowing of disease progression and a reduction in vision threatening complications. In those patients with nAMD, significant visual acuity gains have been demonstrated, yet treatment burden often leads to reduced patient adherence, resulting in suboptimal outcomes. Dosing strategies aimed at extending the time between dosing intervals while maintaining early visual acuity gains are evolving. In this educational activity, experts in the field will summarize newer anti-VEGF injection protocols that may improve the long-term management of DR and nAMD, as well as examine real-world clinical data that report on patient-related and anatomical factors that influence outcomes in patients being treated for nAMD and DR.
