“OWL provides me with the opportunity to directly connect with a diverse group of leaders in the field of ophthalmology, whether they are ophthalmic practitioners, industry leaders, or emerging contenders. It’s a great feeling when you attend major meetings such as AAO or ASCRS, to know there will also be an OWL meeting, where you can readily network and make personal connections with colleagues who genuinely want to have a positive impact in the world of ophthalmology!” ~ Casey Lind
