Speaker: Dr. Charles Shidlofsky, OD, FCOVD
Join ISVA president Charles Shidlofsky, OD, FCOVD as he discusses ways to establish a sports and performance vision training center and new technologies available.

Attendees will learn different ways to incorporate this niche into their practice, gain insight into different instruments available, and learn different ways that optometrists are offering their training to patients and athletes.
