CL-Implementing Myopia Control with Standard and Specialty Lenses
Description:
This course will describe the need for myopia control, currently available myopia control options with a focus on alternative specialty lens options, their effectiveness, their safety, and why (decrease dependence on vision correction, decrease odds of developing a secondary ocular disease, and increase practice revenue) practitioners should offer myopia control to their patients. This lecture will then describe the experiences of developing both university-based and private practice-based myopia control specialties clinics along with tips for successfully growing these practices.

Constant presence: Alliance builds reputation for patient safety advocacy
Founded five years ago, the Health Care Alliance for Patient Safety (HCAPS) is making good on its mission to advocate for patient safety and protect the fundamental doctor-patient relationship. The alliance’s advocacy will be recognized with the AOA’s Apollo Award during a ceremony at the 2023 Optometry’s Meeting® June 21-24.
