Binocular Harmonization Technology
Presenter: Michael Gatti
This course teaches a new technology that manages the way that the two eyes work together in progressives. Called Binocular Harmo nization Technology, it optimizes the design of both lenses, no matter the distance Rx, so that the eyes receive equal accommodative support. HOYA bel ieves that this is the 1st lens technology that addresses the anisometropic prescription with a binocular solution.
10:00 – 11:0 0 am
It All Becomes Clear: The Self-Tinting Lens Opp ortunity
Presenter: Samantha Toth
Attendees will lear n the fundamentals of how self-tinting lenses work, and learn how the lates t generation self-tinting lens technology, as presented by PhotoFusion by Z eiss provides superior performance. Learners will also understand the effe cts of UV radiation on the eye, and the factors by which UV intensity in th e atmosphere varies.
11:00 am– 12:00 pm
< p>Advancements in Photochromic Technology: Solutions for Today' s World Powered by Light – The Science Behind the LensPresented by: Herb Fletcher
< span>Most people understand the basic functionality of photochromic lenses. What many people do not realize is that photochromic chemistry is a comple x balance. New, more complex photochromic molecules and measurement methodo logies are enabling new performance characteristics and advancements. This course will explore the chemistry that makes photochromics work; why consum ers need and want light adaptive lenses; and technology breakthroughs which enabled new product offerings that appeal to all types of wearers.< /p>
12:30 – 1:30 pm
Presenter:
Lis Quinn
This one hour seminar will discuss the nature and harmful effects of polarized light, how to protect your eye s by using polarized lenses, and how to recognize the innovative technologi es that make the most advanced and intelligently designed polarized lenses. It will also go over the current state of the polarized lens market in the optical industry, and how you can increase your practice/store’s income by making polarized sunwear a more important part of your business.
1:30 – 2:30 pm
Defy the Glare – NEW Transitions XTRActive Polarized lenses
Different types of light create challenges to our vision. In very demanding light situatio ns, such as very bright light or reflective glare, our vision can be compro mised creating a poor experience. Exposure to these types of light situatio ns can also amplify daily eye fatigue, contributing to associated symptoms such as dry eyes, itchy eyes, headache and eye strain. In the long term, re petitive exposure to intense light can create a cumulative effect and could have an impact on eye health. Transitions® XTRActive ® Polarized™ lenses are uniquely designed to provide extra light protection for eyeglass wearers who are frequently exposed to b right light and reflective glare.
2:30 - 3:30 pm
