The Conference
This year has seen an unprecedented disruption in the conference schedule of the vision therapy industry. In addition, many vision therapy providers and patients are facing serious hardship in providing and receiving vision care due to reduced ability to travel and in some cases mandated clinic closures. As a result of our tremendous event held in April, where over 2000 participants from 60 countries came together, Vivid Vision has dedicated to continue I HEART VT as a platform for low-cost access to virtual education for optometrists, vision therapists, students, and others active in vision care.
​
Vivid Vision has partnered with ACBO, BABO, COVD, COMOF, CSO, VTC, NORA, ISVA, FEDOPTO, ALDOO, AMFECCO, SIODEC and VISION THERAPY PARENTS UNITE to bring you this brand new virtual education platform dedicated to optometry and vision therapy! Attend live sessions or watch the recordings at your convenience. Utilize the vast array of archived content for staff training, continuing education, and to supplement your own professional development.
​
Content is applicable to vision care professionals including optometrists, vision therapists, optometry students, residents, and other allied health professionals.
