SUMMARY:Southwestern Congress of Optometry 2026
DESCRIPTION:Save the date: \n\nSouthwestern Congress of Optometry: January 24th – 25th\, 2026\n\n\nPresenter: Brenda Montecalvo\, OD\, FCOVD\, FAAO\, FCSO\n\nTopic:  Assessment and Treatment of Strabismus and Amblyopia \n  \nSUMMARY \nThis comprehensive course provides a foundational understanding of strabismus\, covering its various types\, incidence rates\, and treatment outcomes. It emphasizes developing a model for successful patient outcomes by building a robust support system that includes elements like proper breathing\, good posture\, and appropriate lens and occlusion techniques\, culminating in the application of optometric vision therapy. \nThe curriculum also focuses on equipping learners with effective assessment tools for diagnosing strabismus and other binocular vision disorders. This includes discussions on entrance skills\, dynamic and static retinoscopy\, and phoropter testing. Furthermore\, the course delves into evaluating patients’ visual sensory and motor systems and provides insights into prescribing lenses\, prisms\, and occlusion\, all with the goal of designing and implementing effective\, high-outcome treatment plans. \n\nPlease contact Dr. Jason Deviney\, OD at drjasondeviney@gmail.com with any questions \nREGISTER AT https://www.ubme.com/event/67089b2b-ca41-493f-a00e-51ea92dd25e5
