Please join us on Tuesday, April 3rd at 7:30 PM (doors open at 7 PM) at the MCC to hear three experts discuss eyeCARE, Dr. Daniel Laurin, an Optometrist, Dr. Daniel Scanlan, an Ophthalmologist, and Fran Moreau, who is partially sighted. Dr. Keith Rose will moderate the session.
The discussion will include many aspects related to vision, but focus on screening and three long-term eye problems – diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Participants will review current and best treatment options including medications, eye injections and surgery. Attendees will learn who they should contact for eye care, about OHIP coverage for assessment and treatment, and how to live independently when sight decreases. In addition, a CNIB representative (Canadian National Institute for the Blind) will be available in the lobby of the MCC prior to the event
