<div class="" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><span class="" style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;">From the earliest days, 20 years ago, the organizers of <em class=""><b class=""><span class="" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">The Eye
and The Chip</span></b></em> have felt that we were better off with a limited audience size. This would allow for more interchange (call it schmoozing) between the leaders in the field of prosthetic vision. While other ophthalmic meetings have crowds of thousands,
we are most comfortable with 200 to 250 in attendance.</span></div>
