Please join us on Saturday, June 15 after the lectures for an event to round off the day!

Throughout the CE weekend, there will be opportunities for you to participate through interactive lecture formats. To add to the excitement, your score will be tracked electronically to determine our ‘winner’ for each session. Challenge your classmates, your friends, and yourself as you learn.

Please also plan to join us for our annual commemoration of the Distinguished Dr. Clair Bobier and Dr. Emerson Woodruff Lectures.

Category B credit will be given for these sessions. This will not be part of the COPE lectures.

If you’re interested in adding to, or improving your skill set in dry eye diagnosis and management, scleral lens fitting, gonioscopy, or imaging, you’ll want to register early for these workshops. Experienced faculty and residents will provide the instruction, and registration will be limited to approximately 24 optometrists to allow for as much hands-on learning as possible.

The trade show and lunch continues to be very well received by both participants and exhibitors alike. This event held in the Commons will feature a variety of exhibitors highlighting various educational materials and equipment items on Saturday, June 15, from 12:30 to 2:30pm.
