ABOUT THE SEMINAR
This 15 CE COPE-submitted seminar is intended to educate the Doctor of Optometry on how to treat and prevent systemic and ocular disease using dietary supplements, new drugs, and changes in lifestyle. Current pharmaceutical and anti-aging therapies including IPL (dry eye & chalazion treatment) hormone therapy, NAD+ and IV therapy will provide optometric physicians with cutting-edge therapies to treat and prevent and treat disease. Novel areas of nutrition such as nootropics or “smart drugs” that can boost brain performance will be covered.
In addition, we’ll dive deep into the latest technology in the diagnosis and management of retinal disease with an emphasis on age-related macular degeneration and inherited retinal disease (IRD). Rounding out the seminar will be a comprehensive course on the contemporary medical management of glaucoma and a roundtable discussion on how to be a more profitable and happier optometric physician by working less.
