CE Programs and Lecture Series
Low Vision | High Impact 2022
Certification Course | 12 Hours of COPE Accredited CE
This series will cover the application and prescription of low vision devices and technology. The goal is to provide low vision rehabilitation strategies that can be accessible to primary care optometrists as well as low vision specialists. The course will include an in-depth discussion and evaluation of the types of low vision devices and technology available to patients with all levels of vision impairment, as well as descriptions of the strengths and weaknesses of each type of assistive technology.
Participants will have the option to participate in individual webinars or a full low vision certificate program designed for the primary care optometrist interested in incorporating low vision rehabilitation into their practice. We will have a series of six webinars throughout the summer, and we will end with a 5-hour hands-on, in-person workshop on September 10th, 2022 in Boston, MA. All CE hours will be COPE Accredited.
