Vision is a process that relies on the anatomical features of the eye, physiology, visual pathway, optic trac and brain function. Take you on a journey using actual low level energy lasers, lenses, and a model anatomical eye to illustrate the process of sight in real time! Topics include anatomical and physiological structures, the visual pathway, optic trac, image processing in the brain and more.

Join Phernell Walker, Master Optician as he shares his Pure Optics method to advanced optical formulae. This course explores formulae used to solve dioptric power of thick lenses, polar and rectangular prism, prism compensated lenses, spectacle magnification and cross-cylinders.

Growing sunglass sales as part of a multi-pair vision solution is one of the most targeted metrics in optical. Sunglass sales improve our revenue stream and more importantly, provide the proper sun protection for our patients. In this course we will discuss not only cited references, we will also discuss habits of successful optical offices that you will be able to implement when you return to the office on Monday.
Speaker: Bob Alexander, LDO, ABOM / NCLEM
Discussing actual trouble shooting case reports, learners will be exposed to the subjective chief complaint of the patient, how open-ended questions were formulated to uncover the objective complaint from the patient, the formulation of an accurate assessment and then prepare a mutually accepted plan of action for multiple spectacle trouble conditions including, but not limited to:
• Utilizing correct spectacle lens design
• Compare and contrast viewing distance and working distance for occupational lens designs
• Designing spectacle lenses for specific visual needs • Spectacle lens over contact lens combinations in each situation
• Proper spectacle assembly • Cases brought up for discussion by learners

As contact lenses become more readily available, some consumers have become less conscious of the need to comply with the instructions of their eyecare providers. They may listen more often to friends or family. It is the responsibility of contact lens professionals to properly inform their patients of the complications that can arise as a result of non-compliance. This course will list some of the more common issues of non-compliance as well as some of the more not so common issues of non-compliance and how we as contact lens professionals may encourage better compliance by our contact lens patients.
