Thursday, July 3, 2025
11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
This course is designed for primary care Optometrists to enhance their understanding and management of refractive amblyopia. Emphasizing a functional binocular approach, participants will learn effective refractive strategies to recover binocularity, leading to subsequent improvements in visual acuity. Key topics include understanding the nature of amblyopia as a binocular dysfunction, moving beyond traditional views that focus solely on monocular deficits, an evidence-based treatment approach implemented in a primary care setting that prioritizes restoring binocularity, and how to effectively use lens therapy as a first-line treatment before considering a referral to a VT Optometrist.
