The Ophthalmic Optics Educators (OOE) Special Interest Group (SIG) was held in Dallas, TX, on July 13-15, 2023. The two-day meeting hosted at EssilorLuxottica was both engaging and informative.

The Dr. Joe Bruneni Honorary Lecturer Award recipient, Michelle J. Hoff, OD, FAAO, ABOM, FNAO, Associate Clinical Professor at The University of California School of Optometry, was honored and her lecture “Understanding Variable Power Lenses Using Wavefront Technology” was well received.

Topics covered during the meeting were:

  • Myopia control
  • Roundtable discussion “Keeping Optics Relevant in Optometric Education”

The OOE SIG would like to thank EssilorLuxottica and VSP Vision for making this possible!
