VuePoint IDS Inc. has released the inaugural issue of EyeCareUpdate.com on April 28th. EyeCareUpdate.com provides practical clinical information for busy Eye Care Doctors.

Section editors are drawn from leading Canadian Ophthalmologists and Optometrists and also from experts from both USA and Europe. Dr. Raymond Stein, MD, FRCSC is the Editor-in-Chief.
