Participants will enjoy a video based lecture style, hands-on workshops and case presentations.     Presentations with demonstrations and workshops will include information about the optics of lenses, properties of lens materials, explanations of various theories to prescribing, how to relate the case history to potential lens prescriptions, dynamic retinoscopy, designing a complete treatment program that includes performance lenses and utlization of lenses in the therapy room, prescribing for strabismus, amblyopia, myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.   Learning Objectives:    Attendees will gain understanding of the following:  • Understand the optics of lenses and prisms  • Be aware of the various theories in prescribing  • Evaluate the patient’s visual system with lenses, prisms, filters and occlusion  • Be able to develop a wide range of prescription options including performance lenses  • Design a complete treatment program that includes performance lenses and utilization of lenses in    vision therapy  • Perform various types of case analysis  • Understand the properties of lens materials and how they affect visual performance  • Perform dynamic retinoscopy About Dr. Kellye Knuppel & Dr. Brenda Heinke Montecalvo    Dr. Knueppel has dedicated her career to the practice of optometric vision therapy.
