Dear Industry Professional:

Dear Industry Professional: 2007 marked a year of continued growth and change in ophthalmology. New technologies and therapeutics were approved, innovative surgical procedures have been introduced and adopted, and new treatments for AMD and presbyopia remain at the center of discussion among researchers, manufacturers and practicing physicians. Certainly, the structure of the ophthalmic industry has changed, with mergers and acquisitions and the rise of new companies altering the landscape of industry competition. EyeWorld has been at the center of each new development, reporting with a timeliness and balance unsurpassed by any other ophthalmic publication.

Please find enclosed the 2008 Media Kit for ASCRSMedia. You will notice as you read through these pages that we are offering several new opportunities in 2008, which we will highlight below.

First, however, we would like to thank our valued clients for their business in 2007. EyeWorld continues to lead the market in providing timely and relevant news and features pertinent to the anterior segment surgeon. Without the support of our advertisers, EyeWorld could not continue its mission of being the best resource for ASCRS members and the ophthalmic community in general.

To our prospective industry partners, we encourage you to read through the details of our offerings to better understand the services we provide to the USA and international cataract and refractive market. We are certain you will come to appreciate the value we offer both our readers and our advertisers in terms of reach, balanced editorial and investment dollar.

Among the new opportunities discussed in the media kit are the following:

EyeWorld Asia Pacific Today:
In partnership with the Asia Pacific Association of Cataract & Refractive Surgeons, EyeWorld Asia-Pacific Today will serve as the meeting daily for the APACRS annual meeting. The potential of the Asian market for ophthalmic companies is being realized. For anterior segment manufacturers, the combination of the quarterly EyeWorld Asia-Pacific newsmagazine and the new meeting daily provide the advertiser with an excellent method of reaching this rising market.

Corporate Support Opportunities:
Extending beyond the influential and successful ASCRS•ASOA Symposium & Congress, ASCRS has developed a series of intimate meetings that offer the potential corporate supporter additional reach. These meetings include:

• ASCRS Winter Update:
  2008 marks the inaugural year for this meeting, which consolidates the ASCRS Summer Refractive meeting and one of Wilmer Eye Hospital’s Current Concepts meeting into a single comprehensive ophthalmic meeting. Corporate support opportunities are available for this meeting.
• JSCRS/ASCRS Joint meeting:
  New in 2008, this meeting combines the resources of two societies. The meeting, to be held in Tokyo, will provide the Japanese anterior segment surgeon with excellent content and a strong faculty. Corporate support opportunities will be available for this meeting.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions regarding the following opportunities, please contact us at your convenience. We are dedicated to creating a program designed to best suit your marketing mix and budget.

Sincerely,
Donald Long
Director, ASCRSmedia
