• The presenter is both knowledgeable and empathetic to her patients, which is what we need more of with chronic eye health conditions. Great job!

• Such a refreshing and crucial approach to patient care and education. I feel Dr. Bhagat’s empathetic patient care can be applied not only to keratoconus patients but really all patients with sight threatening conditions.

• What a tremendous presentation! It offered a fresh new perspective into the treatment and management of keratoconus! Very well done!

• Thank you for reminding us to see patients from a different perspective.

• My favorite lecturer to date!

• This is exceptional education. I am so appreciative of your ideas on our Keratoconus patients.

• This is a very interesting aspect of the mental challenges that patients with corneal ectasia often experience. I have seen the countenance and physical appearance change for the better in some patients after their vision has been improved by the fitting of corneal or scleral GP CL's.

• I appreciate the perspective of considering the patient's mental wellness during discussions

• Thank you for going over the emotional and mental issues involved with keratoconus. It was a good lecture.

• Great Keratoconus & mental health pearls. Thanks Woo U!

• I like the asking the patient “what had they found out through their google search “ . I like using that as a talking/teaching point.

• Very different perspective in a good way. Lots to think about when talking to patients with KC or other va reducing conditions.

We pride ourselves on being a well-rounded manufacturer that offers effective treatment options for all eye conditions. We understand that no two eyes are entirely alike, and custom-fitted lenses that come in various options are needed to provide that effective treatment.

Our contact lenses are specially designed for each individual patient. We focus on providing a custom-made lens that best suits their needs. Whether they have normal corneas or something more challenging like corneal irregularities, keratoconus, post-surgical or other conditions that can make standard lens types uncomfortable and ineffective. Additionally, we provide ocular corrections that address presbyopia as well as the distance vision.

Myopia Management continues to be a desire for many clinicians to add to their practices. With new technology helping to make orthokeratology fitting even easier, there is no better time than now to add in this incredible service. This summit will help practitioners identify and select good candidates and introduce new software and lens designs to help improve patient outcomes. This event concludes with a panel discussion from national and international practitioners discussing best practices for Orthokeratology integration.

• I had never heard of any okra product or it being used for demodex! Very interesting and informative

• Liked the way she explained demodex as normal but over population of them that treatment will control population and discomfort. She has them herself. Defuze the patient who think they have bad hygiene or it is just for poor people with bad sanitary habits.

ABOUT CLOSE:

CLOSE was created to provide a path for ocular surface management into practice.  This year long program will provide the support for the practitioner interested in actively incorporating dry eye disease diagnostic and management strategies in their practice.

In Phase One, clinicians will be sent surveys regarding diagnostic and therapeutic options currently available in their practice. CLOSE will then provide a blueprint and create a diagnostic plan.

Clinicians will start to formulate treatment protocols based on what they are discovering.

Important notice: Continuing Education (CE) will not be offered for this initiative. This is intended for clinicians who want to change the trajectory of their practice by enhancing patient outcomes.

This course will cover presbyopia eye drops, including FDA-approved options and those in development. Topics include clinical trial processes, analyzing outcomes, and comparing study results, with an emphasis on navigating the evolving landscape of presbyopia treatments.

Almost 1400 attended our event and we received amazing feedback!
