Meet Our Doctors at the Academy Sept 30 to Oct 3

From September 30 to October 3, our doctors will attend the Academy, a major professional gathering for optometrists, researchers, and clinical teams, focusing on continuing education and new technologies. This event allows our team to engage in larger clinical discussions, learn from peers, and enhance patient care.

The Academy is crucial for staying updated with rapid changes in eye care, including new research, lens designs, and diagnostic tools. Our doctors will explore new products and education, particularly for complex visual concerns that may not appear in standard exams, such as eye strain, headaches, and motion sensitivity.

Not every new tool is immediately applicable in patient care. The Academy helps us evaluate new ideas and their potential usefulness. Our doctors seek clinically sound, practical, and relevant information for everyday needs.

Dr. Wang’s Presentation on BVD

On Friday, Dr. Wang will present a poster on a complex binocular vision dysfunction (BVD) case. Her focus is on a young adult post-brain surgery, exploring how vision therapy improved their condition. This highlights the importance of personalized neuro-optometric care.

Dr. Antonyan’s Role in Neurolens Panel

Dr. Antonyan will participate in a Neurolens panel, discussing how these lenses address symptoms from eye misalignment. She will share insights from patient care, emphasizing how lens design can improve comfort during daily tasks.

Impact on Patient Care

The Academy aims to enhance patient care by equipping doctors with new research and technology. It encourages asking better questions during exams and recognizing multiple causes for symptoms like headaches and dizziness. Tools such as glasses, Neurolens, and vision therapy play roles based on individual cases.

Post-Academy Actions

Upon returning, our doctors will apply new knowledge to improve care, focusing on evidence-based practices, thoughtful clinical questions, and patient-centered approaches. The Academy fosters learning, teaching, and connecting with the optometric community, contributing to the future of eye care.
