Speakers Speak at the VP Academy
The VP Academy was another added attraction. It was a great session by key speaker Dr. Christian Lappe, Director Scientific Affairs & Technical Communication from Zeiss Vision Care talking at length about Blue Light and the challenges faced on vision and ocular health and it was a great eye opener as it threw light on some extraordinary facts and broke a few popular myths. The second speaker Nilesh Thite, Director of Education Program spoke on opportunities and threats to contact lens practice and that was again very interesting as he had some valuable insights.
In the second half at the VP Academy, there were keynote speakers Devakani S kumar, Optometrist from Orbit Eyecare Centre and Maher Adnan Al Salhi from Essilor Middle East taking centre stage. While Devakani addressed the issue of Binocular Vision Dysfunction, which was an important and lesser known fact, Maher Adnan Al Salhi spoke about Myopia Control, which again is getting more and more relevant by the day.
VP Awards catches attention
The VisionPlus Awards Gallery displaying the nominated products was the most attractive spot for all visitors.
