COPE ACCREDITED CE PENDING EVENT #
10:00am-2:00pm: NATHAN LIGHTHIZER, O.D.
“Going Viral: HSV, HZO, EKC” 1hr. COPE # 102492-SD
Viruses are some of the most common microorganisms that affect both the body and the eyes. This interactive presentation will review the etiologies, risk factors, signs, symptoms, diagnosis and proper treatment for the ocular and systemic aspects of herpes zoster, herpes simplex and epidemic keratoconjunctivitis.
“Ask the Experts: Presbyopia Care for the Modern Era” 1hr. COPE # 102732-PH
Presbyopia is a condition that affects nearly everyone over the age of 45. Traditional treatment options like eyeglasses and contact lenses are not ideal options for all patients. Recently pharmacologic options have come to the market. This lecture will review and update the pharmacologic treatment options for presbyopia.
“Glaucoma Update & Advanced Cases” 1hr. COPE # 102174-GL
Glaucoma is one of the most common vision threatening disorders that we see in our exam chair on a day in and day out basis. Clinical and scientific evidence supports the use of numerous tests to help in the diagnosis, management, and follow-up of glaucoma. This interactive glaucoma lecture will review some of the classic tests for glaucoma including IOP measurement, VF testing, gonioscopy and ONH imaging. It will also update on the new VF platforms. It will also introduce and give participants the opportunity to get hands-on with the newer technology including OCT, VEP and pERG through cases.
“SLT in 2026: Automated? First Line? Answers to SLT Questions” 1hr. COPE # 102493-GL
The use of laser energy to treat open angle glaucoma has been used by optometric physicians in certain states for over a decade now. This interactive presentation will review and update these ophthalmic laser procedures. Indications, contraindications, risks, benefits, potential complications, pre- and post-operative management and procedural techniques will be discussed regarding ALT and SLT.
2:00pm-4:00pm: BLAIR LONSBERRY, OD
“Practical Pain Management in Optometric Practice” 1hr. COPE # 104154-PH
Ocular and periorbital pain is a key reason why patients seek care, especially on an emergent basis. The following case based; interactive presentation will explore the most effective means to manage pain in optometric practice. Special emphasis on understanding addiction and the current opioid abuse epidemic. Topical and oral pain management will be discussed with particular emphasis on the appropriate steps in prescribing oral pain medications.
“Oral Pharmaceuticals in Primary Care Optometry” 1hr. COPE # 104155-PH
This interactive course examines the use of oral pharmaceuticals in the treatment and management of a variety of conditions that the clinician will encounter in primary care optometry. Topical areas will range from managing conditions affecting the ocular and periocular tissues.

10:00am-12:00pm: JULIE RODMAN, OD
“A Review of Ocular Manifestations Associated with GLP-1 and GLP-1/GIP Agents” 1hr. COPE# 105106-PH
GLP-1 receptor agonists are widely prescribed for the management of Type 2 diabetes and obesity. Numerous reports have cited ocular side effects associated with their usage. The most frequently reported complications include non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, links to macular complications, changes in intraocular pressure, refractive shifts and dry eye. Overall, while GLP-1RAs provide significant systemic benefits, careful ophthalmic monitoring, particularly in high-risk patients is recommended. This course will review the pathophysiology of GLP-1 RAs and investigate the link between these medications and ocular side effects. Case examples will be highlighted.
“Where Vision Matters Most: Understanding Macular Disorders” 1hr. COPE # 105107
This course provides an overview of macular disorders with a focus on multimodal imaging. Emphasis will be placed on differential diagnosis of disease including the role of OCT and FAF in disease monitoring, and treatment planning. By integrating structural and functional imaging, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how OCT and FAF contribute to differentiating macular pathologies, assessing progression, and guiding patient care. Topics will include macular telangiectasia, vitelliform dystrophy, acute macular neuroretinopathy, and central serous chorioretinopathy.
12:00pm-4:00pm : Bradley A. Daniel, OD, FAAO, FAAOMS, Dipl. ABO
“Recurrent Corneal Erosion in 2026: A Driver-Based Approach to Diagnosis, Medical Management, and Surgical Intervention 2hrs. COPE #105665-TD
Recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) is a chronic, relapsing disorder of epithelial adhesion that is frequently underdiagnosed and inconsistently managed. This two-hour course reframes RCE around the driver-based logic now central to DEWS III: RCE is an MMP-9-mediated adhesion failure sitting on top of the ocular surface, so durable control depends on identifying and treating the dominant driver, whether structural or traumatic, dystrophic, or inflammatory and lid-related.
”Minor Surgical and In-Office Procedures for the Medical Optometrist: A Region-Based, Case-Illustrated Approach to Lid, Lacrimal, Conjunctival, Corneal, Glaucoma, Laser, and Ocular-Surface/Aesthetic Procedures” 2hrs. COPE # 105666-SP
In-office surgical, laser, and injectable procedures are an expanding component of medically oriented and advanced-scope optometric practice, yet many clinicians lack a structured framework for recognizing procedural opportunities and executing them safely. This two-hour course organizes the office-based procedural armamentarium around a region-based framework—eyelid, lacrimal, conjunctival, corneal, glaucoma, lens and vitreous, and the ocular surface and periocular region—so participants can move from clinical recognition to confident intervention

10:00am-12:00pm: CHRISTOPHER BORGMAN,OD
Central Scotomas: “Common Differentials” 2HRS. COPE# 105064-TD
Optometrists are often the first clinician to evaluate and diagnose central and cecocentral scotomas in patients. Central scotomas have a fairly broad number of causes and can include typical and atypical causes. These causes can include: glaucoma, acquired macula lesions, hereditary maculopathies, hereditary optic neuropathies, and neurological lesions. This lecture is intended to logically walk through the steps of differential diagnoses when encountering patients with central and cecocentral scotomas in a clinical setting.
12:00pm-2:00pm: “Neuro Eye Grand Rounds: My Favorite Cases” 2hrs. COPE # 102826-NO
This grand-rounds style continuing education course will highlight unique neuro-optometry cases that the author has managed and used to increase his knowledge in the neuro-optometry realm of eye care. This course will review and discuss the pathology behind specifically chosen real neuro-optometry and orbital pathology cases that are not seen every day in optometry. An approach to review and use our vast knowledge of ocular anatomy, physiology, and pathology will be reviewed to best manage patients that may not present every day.
2:00pm-4:00pm: KOMAL PATEL, OD
“The Eyes as a Window to Systemic Disease” 2hrs. COPE # 103521-SD
Presented in a grand rounds format, this lecture will feature a series of compelling cases involving patients with anterior and posterior segment ocular disease. Each case prompted further investigation, ultimately revealing underlying systemic associations. Clinicians will gain insights into the diagnostic approach and multidisciplinary considerations involved in identifying and managing ocular manifestations of systemic disease.
