Young Optometrists Group (YO’s), recently held its second educational event “Ask Anything Anterior”. Dr William Trinh and Dr James Chau-Vo, together with our sole sponsor for the evening Abbott Medical Optics made the night possible for our 42 young optometric attendees.
Valuable clinical pearls were passed on in the form of interactive case studies, and quiz formats from both experts on our panel provided a highly engaging and informative way of learning. Such discussions of Ciprofloxacin vs Ofloxacin, Pred Forte vs Maxidex, tapering schedules of steroids, and eyelash extension trauma were addressed.
This was followed by a well answered Q&A session comprised of pre-submitted photographs, emailed questions, written questions during an intermission on the night, and old school “raise your hand” questions.
As well as providing young optometrists with a chance to further their therapeutic knowledge, the Young Optometrists executive team, together with Abbott Medical Optics has grand plans to address patient engagement to develop our Marketing skills through late 2013 through to August 2014 with interactive seminars and information distributed online.
