“We are committed to empowering our network of optometrists to
lead and innovate in their field. By offering educational
opportunities, we ensure they stay at the forefront of advancements
in optometry,” said National Vision Chief Medical Officer Priti
Patel, O.D. “When our dedicated professionals come together to
discuss clinical insights and explore cutting-edge technologies, it
sparks remarkable growth and enhances patient care."
At both regional events, optometrists in attendance were able to
earn up to 22 hours of continuing education credits. Employed
optometrists also had the benefit of having their patient schedules
managed for them during the festivities, with no need to use paid
time off to attend.
Beyond providing COPE-approved lectures, National Vision also
leveraged the event to celebrate the achievements of doctors
practicing in the network. In total, more than 150 optometrists
were recognized across both regional events.
The following optometrists received special honors for two
decades or more of years of service to patients at practices in the
National Vision Doctor of Optometry network:

contributions to their individual practices. Awardees included:
- Michelle Bertenthal, O.D.

“While education is at the forefront of the event, it’s equally
as important to leverage the experience for community-building,”
said National Vision’s Head of Doctor Network, Alexander Smith,
O.D. “We make sure doctors have the chance to connect with peers
from across state lines, or fellow alumni they haven’t seen since
graduating optometry school. Those connections are at our core and
are what keep doctors coming back year after year.”
