NORWALK, Conn.—Early Bird prices for the Continuing Education program being offered at the upcoming Vision Expo East will be available until March 14. This year’s program will feature more than 250 hours of continuing education from April 10 to 13.

“’Uniquely Defined’ is the title for this years event, describing the unparalleled positioning, coverage and exposure that International Vision Expo East provides the entire ophthalmic industry,” said Kirk Smick, OD and chair of the Conference Advisory Board. “The education program is the centerpiece of the event for the entire industry, one that offers breadth as well as depth.”

Conference Advisory Board members have also designated “Hot Picks”—cutting edge topics and information for that address current industry issues such as the use and abuse of steroids, increasing sunwear sales and ocular emergencies and triage.

The entire course selection has been submitted to ABO, NCLE, JCAHPO, COPE, AOA Paraoptometric Section, the New York State Board for Ophthalmic Dispensing and all State Boards of Opticianry for consideration of continuing education credit approval. The conference program is endorsed by the New York State Optometric Association and the National Academy of Opticianry.
