Contact Lens Innovation in Las Vegas: A Recap of the 1st CE Poster Session
The Contact Lens Institute of Nevada (CLNV) hosted a groundbreaking event on May 14th, 2024, at Wineaux, a sophisticated wine bar in Las Vegas. This first-ever CE poster session brought together eye care professionals for an evening of learning, networking, and (of course) delicious drinks!
Learning Through Case Studies
The event featured a compelling lineup of poster presentations by leading local optometrists. Attendees gained valuable insights from real-world case studies covering a range of topics, including:
Scleral Lens Applications: Presentations explored the use of scleral lenses for managing keratoconus, post-RK patients, and even surpassing the limitations of standard scleral lenses.
Advanced Lens Technologies: Discussions covered the advantages of custom-designed orthokeratology lenses and new fitting technologies for faster and better scleral lens fits.
Treating Ocular Conditions: Attendees learned about effective management of Demodex blepharitis and the use of IPL technology in eye care.
A Diverse and Engaged Audience
The session boasted a strong turnout with 47 attendees. Notably, the audience comprised primarily of Optometrists (37 ODs) with additional representation from Medical Doctors (2 MDs), Optometry Students (3), a Doctor of Pharmacy (1 PharmD), and even a Doctor of Dental Surgery (1 DDS).
This mix of professionals fostered a dynamic and enriching learning environment, allowing for the exchange of knowledge and experiences across different specialties.
A Night of Learning and Connection
The CLNV's CE poster session not only provided valuable continuing education credits but also created a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
