More than 280 optometrists and 185 optometric assistants attended the 2012 Kansas Optometric Association Fall Eyecare Conference in Wichita.  Optometrists attending were able to receive 13 hours of continuing education toward the 24 hours required for re-licensure.  Among those attending were Drs. Mark Judd, Russell McCaulley, and Chad Premer of Great Bend.
The seminar included sessions on common anterior segment conditions, MRSA, systemic medications for special populations, signs in neuro-ophthalmology, papilledema and drug-related neuro-ophthalmic adverse effects. Attendees also heard presentations on the new KanCare Program and the Kansas Health Information Network and they had the opportunity to visit with representatives from the optometric industry focusing on eyewear, optometric equipment, electronic health records, patient services and practice management.
