FV-Sports Vision Series - Sports Vision Testing & Evaluation
Description:
Athletes at all levels are constrained by the amount of time available to pursue visual skill improvement. Before the athlete can work specifically on the opportunities for enhancement, we must know what they are. This course will cover the primary care athlete eye exam elements and concussion tests. You will learn how to identify and gather pertinent visual information based on the history and simple exam lane tests. We will also explore high-performance automated evaluation equipment. Don't stop there, come join the Sports Vision Lab to get the hands-on practice and learn to solidify those skills before returning to your office.

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.
What defines the value of care we provide?
Health and vision plans have not adapted and grown with the care we deliver but hold back optometry’s momentum.
How to speak the universal language of care
How to create a bilingual and culturally sensitive practice, why it matters to patients and how it can set you apart from the competition.
