From an outstanding selection of continuing education courses to trade show, networking and social events, the 2008 Optometry’s Meeting® closed June 29 to a round of applause. Thanks to the support of generous industry sponsors, the meeting offered many courses and events for free, or at significant discounts. Doctors of optometry, students, paraoptometrics, industry experts, American Optometric Association (AOA) delegates and affiliate executives will gather again next year in Washington, D.C.
