Central Ohio Optometric Association

Message from the Governor

I hope everyone enjoyed our January meeting.  Thank you again to Dr. Zadnik, Cori and Jordan for an entertaining and informative RealEyes training program.  I hope everyone will be inspired to contact Cori and present one of the programs to a local school.  Remember 25 schools are still looking for presenters.  Also, thank you to Dr. Chris Cooper and Tom Sarson from Vistakon for participating in the meeting.  I hope everyone took away some new strategies on contact lens compliance. 

 Our next meeting will be Wednesday February 17 at The Ohio State University Golf Club.  Drs. Dawn Burgei and Gregory Nixon will be providing an hour of continuing education on glaucoma management.  We hope to make this an interactive meeting, including cases and discussion. 

A couple reminders include checking your status with PECOS.  If you have any questions regarding PECOS, please contact me.  I can forward a PowerPoint slideshow to you regarding PECOS.  Also, the OOA town hall meeting will be March 24 at Scioto Reserve in Powell from 1-5pm.  Three hours of continuing education will be offered in addition to discussion on state and national issues.  Please RSVP at www.ooa.org.  Space is limited.  Also, we are looking still looking for one more Key OD in zone 12.  If you are interested, please contact the OOA office.  In our local area, the COOA is now a member of Facebook, so you can search for us as a friend.

Thank you to everyone who attended last month’s meeting.  It was a pleasure to meet some of you.  I look forward to seeing you at our next meeting.

Sincerely,

Michelle J. Buckland

COOA governor
