In this ODwire TV Episode, Drs. Jennifer Lyerly and William Townsend talk to us about the technology behind SYSTANE® COMPLETE.
We review the drop's mechanism of action, and why it gives effective dry eye relief, whether the etiology is evaporative, aqueous-deficient, or mixed.

National Vision Donates to Nova Southeastern Optometry, School to Change Name?

Last week Nova Southeastern University’s (NSU) College of Optometry announced it has received a significant philanthropic gift from National Vision, Inc.
Subsequently, we learned that Nova was planning to change its name -- ostensibly to the "National Vision" College of Optometry.
This planned move has sparked controversy among university alums, to the point where over 2,000 have signed a petition to not change the school's name. Many Nova students were also seen wearing black armbands at the recently completed Vision Expo West, in order to protest the move.
While corporate sponsorship is an increasingly common way to help fund academic institutions, one can see why this move has fallen afoul of some grads, as National Vision tends to downplay the role of the ECP in many of their ads:
What is your opinion about the situation? ECPs can weigh in here.

Offset Multifocal Optics with OptiSync Technology

September 14, 2018
Soft contacts frequently decenter temporally, which can lead to sub-optimal visual outcomes.
In this ODwire.org webinar, Drs. Matt Lampa and Stephanie Ramdass discuss the science behind this decentration, and how the NEW OptiSync Technology allows you to offset the multifocal optics from the center of the lens and target alignment with the patient's visual axis.
Registered ODwire.org members can comment on the technology (and multifocal fits in general!) in this thread.
