In this brief video, Dr. Adam Farkas walks us through Vision Expo West 2022.
He compares the event to prior Expos to try to see if the conference is in decline, or bouncing back after a hard few years.
Watch as he meets up with other ODwire.org members. What was your experience at this year’s event?
Like any test that has evolved over time, today’s visual field tests have grown more accurate and reliable, but legacy systems have remained cumbersome for patients and practices alike.

He will discuss how the combination of Virtual Reality headsets with advanced, time-tested software, will lead to more efficient and accurate testing with a positive patient experience.
Attendees of this course will learn:
* How new technology can increase comfort and decrease anxiety for the patient, technician and practitioner
* How features like Active Eye Tracking provide reliable visual field results

Drs. Paul Farkas & Adam Farkas along with Gretchyn Bailey, Editor in Chief of Optometry Times visited the recently-opened Contact Lens Museum in Forest Grove, OR!
Curator Patrick Caroline gave us the story of how the museum came about, and then a big tour of the artifacts and the history of contact lenses (Paul of course had a bunch of stories about the stuff we saw… as well as his ingenius idea in the 1980s for using contraceptive sponges to clean contact lenses. Yes, really!)
Anyone who is interested in contact lenses and history should check out the video, and remember: if you have old contact lens related materials, the museum is always interested in donations! Visit their web site:
Craig Thomas, OD discusses how he uses the new EyeKinetix(r) as a screening tool to detect subclinical optic neuropathies, including normal tension glaucoma.
