Marshall Parks Lecture at AAO

Monte A. Del Monte, M.D., Skillman Professor of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Professor of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases, presented the 22nd annual Marshall M. Parks Lecture at the 2021 meeting of the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), held in November. His lecture was titled “The Role of the Conjunctiva in Strabismus and Strabismus Surgery.”

Each year’s presenter is an internationallyrecognized pediatric ophthalmologist or strabismologist selected by a committee representing the AAO, the American Association of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) and the Costenbader Pediatric Ophthalmology Society.

“As a former fellow of Dr. Parks, I was excited to honor my mentor and second father figure for the pivotal role he played in the development of my career and of the entire field,” says Dr. Del Monte.
