Looking for some serious recreation combined with quality optometry continuing education? Registration is underway for the 26^th Annual Eye Ski Conference March 4^th through March 9^th, 2012. If you have ever needed an excuse to get to Park City, Utah for some world-class skiing, this is your chance. At Eye Ski, you can combine excellent optometry continuing education with a fantastic ski vacation for yourself, your family, and staff. The conference offers 20 hours of optometry classes as well as discounted skiing and lodging at the fabulous Lodge at Mountain Village, an unforgettable ski-in, ski-out resort property. And be sure to ask your tax advisor how to best take advantage of trips associated with optometric continuing education.

Eye Ski optometry classes will help you stay current on developments in the field, sharpen your current skills, help you implement best practices, and could meet your state licensing requirements for optometry continuing education (check your licensing board criteria to be certain). For example, class at the 2011 Eye Ski conference included the following topics:

Treating anterior segment

Preventing contact lens complications

Hybrid lens technology

Multifocal contact lens update

Glaucoma treatment

Optic neuritis

Multiple sclerosis

Lid disease

IOLs

So how will you fit in the slopes with all of the education? Two classes are held each day—one in the morning and one in the evening, giving you all day Monday through Friday to ski. Park City is home to a number of superb ski resorts, and Eye Ski works with them to provide discounts on lift tickets for its registered attendees and their families. These discounts typically amount to around $100 in savings per skier over the five days.

Your registration fee is all inclusive. It includes 20 hours of optometry education planned by the conference education director, Jim Fanelli, OD. It also includes breakfast each day for registered ODs, and admission for you and your family to the registration cocktail party, the traditional SW fiesta party, après-ski cocktail parites, and the traditional NASTAR race—a popular event.

Travel is convenient at this year’s conference, too. A discounted shuttle is available that will take you to and from the Salt Lake City airport to Park City and to the various ski resorts. This means you won’t have to rent a vehicle, which reduces expense and increases ski time.
