Canadian Eye Care Business Review in collaboration with COPE administrator Clinical & Refractive Optometry are pleased to announce a live CE webinar on Monday, October 29 at 8 PM (EDT). Registration for the webinar is now open.

Speakers and topics for the webinar include:

• Scott Mundle, OD, President, World Council of Optometry
  Global & Canadian Perspectives on Myopia

• Debbie Jones, FCOptom, DipCLP FAAO, CORE/Univ. of Waterloo
  Myopia Management – From Research to Clinical Practice

• Jeff Goodhew, OD, Chief Co-editor Canadian Eye Care Business Review
  Myopia Control in Optometric Practice

Myopia can no longer be considered a benign condition. It must be addressed as a potentially sight-threatening treatable disease.  Dr. Mundle will share the WCO perspectives and plans for a global Myopia awareness week in 2019. All optometrists will understand the coordinated effort toward raising awareness of Myopia as a treatable condition. Dr. Debbie Jones will review some of the interesting research and clinical studies that have been done in Canada, and Dr. Jeff Goodhew will provide pointers on how optometry can integrate myopia control to patients in the optometric practice.

Each of the three presentations will be followed by a panel discussion. As a live interactive webinar, questions from the audience will be addressed.

The webinar is made possible through the generous support of CooperVision Canada and Carl Zeiss Vision Canada.

Clinical & Refractive Optometry is the COPE administrator for this event. COPE registration is pending.
