Monterey Optometry Continuing Education Opportunity

The Monterey Symposium for optometry continuing education is coming soon!  Once again, excellent optometric education will be presented at the Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Monterey California. 

If you are looking to complete your state optometric continuing education requirement or simply looking for a sunny vacation that qualifies as a business expense, then register and join with other optometric colleagues for quality education.  This optometry CE conference is offered by the California Optometric Association (COA) from November 10-13 (Thursday-Sunday) with a total of 94 CE hours for optometrists and staff.

COA will have a premium exhibit hall with corporate support from Luxottica, VSP, Vision West, Bausch & Lomb, Ciba Vision, CooperVision, The Vision Care Institute, LLC, and Abbott Medical Optics.  Many other optometric industry exhibitors will be present in the hall.

Optometrists will receive the latest updates on retinal vascular disease, premium lens implants for cataract surgery, optometric practice management, refractive surgery, glaucoma management, contact lenses including piggyback systems, optometric practice accounting and tax tips, dermatology for eye care practitioners, free form technology, staff communications, binocular clinical pearls, and anterior segment pathology.

Niche topics of interest for optometrists will include 3-D technologies, performing eye exams with challenging behavioral conditions, nutritional eyecare, and extreme case challenges.

Southern California College of Optometry has partnered with COA to include a 16-hour glaucoma case management  optometry CE course followed by an exam.  A course manual is included and the review and exam will take place on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 7:30am - 9:00am. 

Monterey California is a prime travel destination with many unique attractions.  Optometrists and their families may enjoy a 17 mile drive in Pebble Beach with miles of coastline, dream homes, and top rated golf courses.  You should catch a glimpse of Fisherman’s Wharf where you will see locals unloading the day’s catch and enjoy several fresh seafood restaurants.  Keep in sight the Cannery Row shopping center which includes Monterey Bay Aquarium, local artists, specialty shops, restaurants, and other waterfront attractions.  Optometrists and families may just want to lounge at the local beaches, kayak, surf, or sail.

Optometric continuing education keeps your career interesting and progressive. Knowledge and networking with optometric colleagues will bring greater enjoyment and success into your practice.  We challenge optometrists to seek out more optometry education than is required by each state and to stay on top of the best practice strategies.
