Speaker Spotlight
Why should this piece of plastic cost as much as an iPhone?
Scott Harris Shapiro grew up in the eyewear industry. His parents founded Europa Eyewear in 1977 and for 40 years the company has been designing, importing and distributing eyeglasses and sunglasses.
Scott studied journalism in college and spent 10 years on morning radio before finally joining his family’s business.
In 2014 he teamed up with two innovative entrepreneurs to build a first-of-its kind American eyewear factory and produce a new luxury brand called STATE Optical Co. Today he works out of the company’s headquarters just outside of Chicago, IL, but spends a great deal of his time traveling around the country talking about his commitment to bringing a lost craft back to the U.S. and the unique challenges he’s faced getting STATE Optical Co. to what it is today.
“Prism Lenses: More Than Meets the Eye”
Although prisms are a common optical tool, they are often misunderstood. We will discuss the properties of prism lenses (beyond Prentice’s Rule), and the different applications of prism lenses from a Neuro-Optometric point of view.
Dr. Wareham is now happily applying a neuroscientific approach to the practice of optometry by providing Vision Therapy for patients with developmental vision problems or who require vision rehabilitation following brain injury. He loves a challenge and celebrates in the success of his patients.
Dr. Wareham is the clinical director of Pupils Vision Development & Rehabilitation with offices in Ottawa and Belleville, Ontario. He lives in the Ottawa area with his beautiful wife, three children and their dog, Missy.
Visual Stress: How to recognize it and alleviate your patients’ symptoms
This presentation outlines the basic theory of visual stress, a sensory processing disorder, by demonstrating the research and explaining neurological basis for the condition. The participants will learn how to identify signs of the condition, classify the reported symptoms, and understand the triggers to these symptoms so the patient can be made aware of them. The presentation will also include instruction on how to screen for the condition and a description of the assistive tools they can offer their clients to immediately reduce their symptoms. Other solutions will be presented including suggesting environmental modifications and accommodations to be requested from school or work. The presentation will close with information on precision tinted spectral filters.
