The Vit-Buckle Society (VBS) was created by group of early career vitreoretinal surgeons with the mission “to provide an open forum for innovative vitreoretinal surgeons to share best practices, foster the development and use of novel surgical technologies and strategies for retinal diseases, and provide mentorship of emerging vitreoretinal surgeons.” The idea was conceived in 2006, with first activities held the year after. We are committed to this mission, and as we look to the future, we are excited for the many initiatives being led by the next generation of VBS leadership. VBS incorporated in 2008, and our official stand-alone annual meetings started in 2013.
