The ambitious and spirited optometric students at Western University joined us at our Visionary Lab for a peek into the specialty lens design and manufacturing world on November 2nd. The students were treated with a specialty lens primer presented by Valerie Lim, Resident Doctor of Optometry at Southern California College of Optometry. In addition, Frank Spors, EurOptom, MS, PhD, FAAO, Associate Professor at Western University provided an engaging lecture on the applications of Orthokeratology. Lunch time entertainment consisted of a thought-provoking game of Contact Lens Trivia Pursuit. Of course the feature of the day was the lab tour and manufacturing demonstration of a Scleral lens. At the end of the day, everyone agreed the tour greatly enhanced the understanding and knowledge of specialty contact lenses. We can’t wait until next year!
