Agenda

When Fitting Contacts 101 is NOT Fitting Con tacts 101
Presenter: Velardi
How ma ny of your patients are -1.00 D myopes that wear contact lenses, dispose of them as instructed, clean them as instructed, have back-up glasses, purcha se their contact lenses from your office and come in every year for their a nnual examinations? The perfect contact lens patient! I’m betting not very many, if any!
This short 1-hour class will cover a basic refresher on fitting contacts as well as the decision-making process that “should” go into the fitting of each individual patient. It will illustrate how compli cated even the simplest -1.00D myope fitting can be [if done appropriately] . It will also include some “fun” he said/she said stuff. What you say and what the patient actually hears and subsequently does. The differences can be amazing!
10:00 – 12:00 noon
Rules & Regulations for Opticians in NJ
Moderator: Danielle V igilotti current President of the Opticians Association of New Jersey (OANJ ).
This course will review the rules and regulations of the NJ state Board of Ophthalmic Dispensers and Ophthalmic technicians through a questio n and answer plus explanation format. A broad range of topics will be discu ssed and there will be ample time for attendees to bring up related topics for explanation or clarification.
12:30 – 1:30 pm
Contra st Sensitivity and Visual Perception
Presenter: Pete Hanlin
Vision is- by definition- the ability to perceive i mage contrast. However, contrast perception is very rarely measured in rea l practice. This is unfortunate, because many patients who have good acuit y (i.e., 20/20 vision) may suffer from reduced contrast perception. As a r esult, their vision may not seem "sharp," even though a routine examination indicates they have perfect vision. This course explains the components o f contrast sensitivity, how it is measured, ocular and ophthalmic issues th at may reduce contrast, and how to ensure patients receive the best contras t sensitivity possible.
1:30 – 2:30 pm
Compensated Power s- and other ophthalmic conundrums
Presenter: Pete Hanlin
Compensation (aka wearer power) is perhaps one of the least understood feature of many modern progressive and even single vision lens designs. This course describes the rationale behind compensation, an d explains why compensation does not change the power of the lens (it merel y describes how the lens should read when it is placed in a lensometer). A dditionally, this course describes the nature of chromatic aberration- as w ell as the actual impact chromatic aberration has on vision- and explains h ow an anti-reflective coating can actually increase the reflection of certa in wavelengths (specifically the ultraviolet range).
2:30 – 3:30 pm
Creating Perceived Value
Presenter: Pete Hanlin
Value perception is a largely subconscious evaluat ion of a product or service's worth. However, it is a crucial concept to u nderstand- because it largely determines what a consumer purchases, where t hey purchase it, and how much they are willing to spend on a purchase. Thi s course describes the drivers of value perception (quality, service, desir e, convenience, and price) and provides practical recommendations of how th e ophthalmic retailer can maximize and differentiate his/her products and s ervices. As Disney has demonstrated, when sufficient perceived value is cr eated, there is almost no limit on the amount a consumer will spend to atta in the product or service being offered.
