SUMMARY:ARVO 2019 annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:From Bench to Bedside and Back\nToday\, more and more\, the research conducted in labs travels the full journey from bench to bedside. Whether you are examining the genetics of disease or the possibilities of a new technology to diagnose\, treat\, or even prevent an eye condition\, this work often begins with a burning question that leads to more questions and answers. Those answers and more questions may journey to a patient’s bedside\, for a novel treatment. Still\, the treatment may lead to more questions – bringing us back to the bench with more questions. \nTo highlight this important work and its evolving journey\, ARVO 2019 will have the theme “From Bench to Bedside and Back.” Mark your calendar and make plans to join ARVO in Vancouver\, British Columbia in 2019.

SUMMARY:CRO Live Event: The Optometrists Role in Protecting Patients from the Dangers of UV and HEVL
DESCRIPTION:While the human eye is a marvel of evolution\, the manner in which our eyes are used in our modern digital age has changed dramatically in the last few decades.  The subject of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation and human response to High Energy Visible Light (HEVL) – also referred to as “blue light” –  is widely mentioned in consumer media and debated in scientific and academic circles. \nIn response to the increasingly recognized adverse affects of both UV and HEVL in the digital age\, the optical industry has created various solutions to reduce patients’ risk. \nThis program provides a review of the impact of UV radiation and HEVL and brings awareness to the impact on the visual system and overall human health. Various product solutions and patient communications strategies can be deployed to help primary eye care practitioners answer patients’ question. This course will help primary eye care practitioners educate and inform patients and choose appropriate strategies. \nThis is a 2 hour COPE CE event including the following COPE approved courses: \nSunshine has a dark side:\nCourse ID# 62239-PM\nInstructor Gregory Naes \nSafe versus unsafe claims in blue light management\nCourse ID# 59642-PM\nInstructor. Mr. Gregory Naes \nCOPE Event# 117310\nLimited spaces available. \nMore information:  Click Here \nREGISTER NOW FOR THIS EVENT:  \n
