Eye on Wellness: Using Nutrition to Optimize Visual Performance Across Patient Populations
Nutrition plays a critical role in visual performance and overall patient outcomes, yet it is often underutilized in everyday optometric care. This course explores how optometrists can use targeted nutritional strategies to support visual function, patient wellbeing, and long-term engagement across diverse patient populations. Through clinical examples—including women at different life stages and patients using GLP-1 medications—attendees will learn how to identify nutritional risk, communicate recommendations confidently, and integrate nutrition into a practical, repeatable care approach that enhances both vision and patient trust.

Nutraceuticals in Clinical Optometry
The supplement industry is a 150-billion-dollar industry. Patients spend hard-earned money on supplements that clever marketing agencies have promoted as healthy. This creates a lot of noise and confusion for patients. This course will review evidence-based nutraceuticals in eyecare and the science behind prescribing them. As doctors, it is imperative that practitioners are knowledgeable about what the science says and that we relay the most accurate information to our patients.

The Clinical Guide to the Newest Innovations in Keratoconus: wfgSL & CTAK
Keratoconus significantly impacts patients' quality of life. Conventional management often leaves unmet visual needs. Wavefront-guided scleral lenses (wfgSL) and Corneal Tissue Addition Keratoplasty (CTAK) represent the 2 newest advancements in keratoconus management. This evidence and case based guide will provide practitioners with the clinical considerations to confidently select appropriate candidates, manage expectations, understand the science and procedure for each, as well as know the expected outcomes. After this course the practitioner should be able to confidently incorporate these innovations into clinical practice, or at least be aware of their existence, as part of the management of the keratoconus patient.

A Step by Step Approach to Presbyopia Drops
This course provides a practical, evidence informed framework for optometrists to evaluate, initiate, and monitor pharmacologic treatment for presbyopia. Through a structured, step by step approach, clinicians will learn how to identify ideal candidates, conduct baseline testing, implement safe prescribing protocols, and manage patient follow-up. Emphasis will be placed on patient centered care and how to counsel patients on realistic expectations for a successful outcome.
