Staying Current

Here is the first days agenda of the next Annual Orthokeratology Academy of America meeting.  The rest of the days are just as packed with great speakers and new information.  I urge all Parents and Pediatricians to have their children be cared for by Doctors trained in Myopia Control.  Most doctors today have very limited exposure to new developments of Myopia (nearsighted / shortsighted) Control.
