'Expand your field of vision' at VEE

New York-International Vision Expo and Conference East promises to deliver all the latest products, trends, and information on medical eye care, fashion, lens technology, and business solutions at its annual meeting here, March 18 to 21.

Kirk L. Smick, OD, FAAO, chairman of the conference advisory board, noted that International Vision Expo has become the one continuing education venue in the United States where all educational courses are open to all members of the eye-care profession.

"It is not uncommon to find ophthalmologists, optometrists, and opticians sitting next to each other in several different courses," he said. "This is truly a unique opportunity to 'expand your field of vision' through education and networking in the profession."

FRIDAY, 5 TO 6 P.M.

SATURDAY, 1 TO 2 P.M.
