Dear
Fellow Ophthalmologists:Since
1963, the Miami Ophthalmological Society has served our community.
I would like to take this opportunity to extend our invitation
to join your colleagues in sharing ideas, learning new techniques
and discussing clinical practice issues.
A variety
of ophthalmologic topics are offered at our seminars. We offer
5-6 meetings each academic year, featuring outstanding speakers,
presenting you the latest developments in their sub-specialties.
Dinner and good conversation with your colleagues follows each
meeting.
Please
visit our website regularly to get information on our current
and future meetings.
Sincerely
yours,
Lewis
R. Dan, M.D.
President
Letter
from Dr. Alana L. Grajewski, Executive Director 1995-2007

Dear
MOS Member,
Over
the years our society has grown in number and has held a steady
course towards our goal as an educational society of community
and university based ophthalmologists. When I was first asked
to assume the role of Executive Director I wasn’t quiet
sure what that would entail, but I can tell you I never thought
I would do the job for 12 years or that it would be so much fun!
But all good things come to an end and it is time for me to go.
Before leaving I want to emphasize where we are today as an organization.
At
its origin, the society was carried around Miami in cardboard
boxes from office to office depending on the current President.
Today the Miami Ophthalmology Society has a home at The Bascom
Palmer Eye Institute. The MOS is now a tax-exempt educational
organization. Our Society sponsors various named lectureships,
dinner programs with subspecialty lectures, and we have begun
offering category 1 CME for our focused educational programs.
Our web-site is frequently visited by both physicians and patients.
We support the Residents and Fellows of Bascom Palmer, inviting
them all to meetings without the expense of membership. We are
the social framework for interaction between colleagues in private
practice as well as in academic medicine. I have traveled about
the country visiting other ophthalmologist in their community,
and it is obvious that we work in an environment that offers the
best there is in clinical medicine: from the sophisticated practitioner
to the #1 Eye Hospital in the country – Miami has it all!
It
has been great serving as your Executive Director and I hope the
society continues to strengthen and grow. I look forward to seeing
all of you at the next MOS meeting.
Alana L. Grajewski, M.D.
