Young optometrists are challenged to succeed from the moment they graduate optometry school. SECO International offers a one-day education program designed to help graduating students prepare for success when they enter the optometric profession. SECO 2010 is The Education Destination® for leaders in optometry. The best and brightest optometrists value the quality and consistency of an organization that has produced world-class continuing education for optometry since 1924. As an emerging optometrist, SECO International encourages you to attend SECO 2010 and take advantage of FREE education opportunities, networking events, and one of the largest exhibit halls in optometry.
The Student Education Program is produced by SECO International and supported in part by The Vision Care Institute.
Three FREE Educational Courses
SECO International offers optometry students the opportunity to prepare to enter the profession of optometry. Attend three FREE education courses lectured by leading speakers in optometry, visit ophthalmic exhibits, and network with eye care professionals.
400 Masquerade Syndromes-Binocular Vision vs. Pathology
9:15 AM - 11:15 AM 2 hrs. CEC
Leonard Press, OD, FCOVD, FAAO; J. James Thimons, OD, FAAO
For decades, the concept of binocular concerns and ophthalmic pathology were thought to be mutually exclusive. This course will provide guidance in separating binocular vision problems and ocular disease issues. The course also will bring together the two disciplines in a unique and challenging format in which clinicians can participate and learn the principles of management.
