Hey! Happy Birthday CAO! The profession of optometry has come a long way in 75yrs. Just think of the progress we have made over those years, in large part due to the efforts of your optometry associations. Thank you to all those who have served on their councils and committees!

Interesting poll results. Students , who make up the majority of this audience at this presentation at the AOA meeting, are not yet convinced that Teleoptometry can provide comprehensive care. Lack of detailed knowledge about Teleoptometry May be a big factor.

Attending a thought-provoking discussion on access to care and Teleoptometry at the AOA meeting. Huge numbers of students in attendance- many with no experience in Teleoptometry “There will be a Teleoptometry lane coming to every optometry school that wants it.”EssilorLuxottica
