The symposium, hosted by Steven L. Maskin, MD [ www.drmaskin.com ] and the Dry Eye and Cornea Treatment Center, is a forum designed to address the need for credible health information available to the public and to convey medical knowledge from local, accessible physicians. We hope this event will assist women in making sound personal health decisions not only for themselves, but also for their families and loved ones. Although this information is not intended to replace a personal physician, we hope the knowledge obtained will allow for empowerment of individuals to understand the complex health and medical issues they are facing daily.
