Photos from the 2012 New Horizons Forum

The inaugural New Horizons Forum brought together highly respected leaders in medicine, science, business, venture capital, and philanthropy to share the latest advances in glaucoma therapies and research.

Held on Friday, February 3, 2012 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, this meeting fostered important collaborations that broadened our understanding of glaucoma and will ultimately lead to innovative new treatments for patients with glaucoma. Here are some photos from the event.
