Your Eyes and Technology: See Where We're Going
A presentation by Dr. Patricia Campbell

"Ever wonder what all those gizmos are that are used during an eye exam? Come and learn not only what they are but how they work and what they allow your eye doctor to learn about you and your health. Also come and learn what technology can offer to improve your vision now and into the future.

Topics will include common eye diseases that you have heard of but wonder what they really are and how to figure out if you have them. Be prepared to stretch your brain over a few centuries from Ben Franklin's days to Capt. Kirk."
