It’s 55 MPH Speed Limit Day!

“I can’t drive… 55!”

(Go ahead. You sang it. We all did.)

When 55 ruled the roads, slowing down was part of the plan. Developmental Optometry has always understood that meaningful progress happens with intention.

So while you’re obeying the speed limit, you can speed over to our website (legally, of course) and start your year off right by joining or renewing your OVDRA membership. Connect with an amazing professional network, earn meaningful CE, and elevate your professional achievements!

No radar gun or guitar required.

Renew Today. Stay focused. And let OVDRA help keep your career moving in the right direction.

Meeting Spotlight Monday!

Get 12 hours towards your required CE needs with an in-depth two day course from Jessi Stevenson COVT (with Jules Petteruto, COVT) entitled “Unloading Loading - To Load or Not to Load"!

In this dynamic workshop-style course, participants will gain foundational insight into the concepts of loading and unloading within the context of Vision Therapy and rehabilitation. Through hands-on activities, discussion, and reflection, attendees will explore the individual differences that influence therapeutic progress — from personality types to communication styles. You’ll uncover the power of mindful questioning, enhance your observational skills, and understand how to build personalized, goal-driven programs for a wide variety of patients. We will also take a look at the history and philosophies of VT pioneers, giving context and depth to your modern-day clinical work.
