Dr. Esarey and myself along with Keri, Becky, Nancy, and Tammy spent last Thursday through Sunday in Itasca, Illinois attending courses and seminars at the Annual Meeting of the Illlinois Optometric Association. Cheryl and Carol remained in Charleston in order to keep the office open for any of our patients wishing to pick up glasses or contacts or those needing adjustments for their glasses.
Continuing staff education is essential to the standard of patient care we have set at Lifetime Eye Care. While at the Annual Meeting, our staff and doctors attended courses in "Managing Ocular Emergencies," "Ocular Mathematics," "Managing Ocular Infections," "Team-Based Medicine," "Insurance Billing and Coding," "New Technologies in Treating Macular Degeneration," and "Expanding the Scope of Primary Care." We were introduced to the newest frame styles, lens types, treatments, contact lens options, and diagnostic tools available.
