The Canadian Association of Optometrists is dedicated to advancing the field of optometry and ensuring optimal vision care for all Canadians. With this commitment in mind, we have meticulously developed a new position statement on Vision Therapy to offer evidence-based insights and recommendations. Vision Therapy, a specialized therapy aimed at enhancing visual function and performance, has been the subject of extensive discussion and debate within the optometry community. Grounded in neuroplasticity, a well-established and continually evolving field of scientific research and clinical practice, Vision Therapy holds significant promise. It can effectively address a wide array of symptoms, including headaches, double vision, blurry vision, difficulty focusing when reading, and challenges with object tracking. Vision Therapy facilitates the acquisition, reacquisition, and reinforcement of specific visual skills, such as precision in eye movements, control of focus, and coordination between the eyes. By leveraging these techniques, individuals can experience significant improvements in visual acuity and comfort, ultimately enhancing their overall quality of life.

Did you know it's Myopia Awareness Week? Let's shine a light on nearsightedness and its impact! Myopia occurs when light focuses in front of the retina, making distant objects appear blurry. Regular eye exams with your optometrist can help monitor your vision and prevent complications.

Our recent research on QuickSee Free's accuracy is now in print! Check out "Ametropia detection using a novel, compact wavefront autorefractor" at https://lnkd.in/dfHxu9SP Key takeaways: —Accurate handheld autorefraction can close the gap in refractive care, especially in low resource settings where there aren't enough caregivers to meet the demand. —Existing studies typically assess autorefractor accuracy by juxtaposing its measurements against subjective refraction outcomes conducted by experienced optometrists. However, this approach overlooks inter-observer variability inherent in subjective refraction. —Our study shows measurements from the new handheld wavefront autorefractor QuickSee Free produce a smaller difference between the device and subjective refractions than the difference between two subjective refraction measurements in terms of mean bias error. 

Most #optometrists in this survey reported negative ROI for their equipment purchase. 🤨 Don't let that be you 👇 Review of Optometry recently published the results of a survey asking optometrists about the recent technology purchases within their practices. See the full article link in the comments below. Only about 2 out of 5 respondents experienced some increase in their bottom line! 😩 One promising finding was that ~75% of #optometrists surveyed now have an OCT, up ~7% from 2 years ago. 👏 How do we ensure our new purchase doesn't create a negative ROI? The answer is that it is as easy as ✅ using specific metrics and ✅ following the clinical practice guidelines to detect and manage relevant conditions. #maculardegeneration #glaucoma #Optometry #MedicalEyeCare #OptometricPractice #PatientCare #EvidenceBasedOptometry #VisionCare #EyeHealth #OptometricEducation #PracticeGrowth #CollaborativeCare
