Drs. Caleb Abbot of Marion and Paul Unruh of Hillsboro were among nearly 230 optometrists and 190 optometric assistants who attended the 2008 Kansas Optometric Association Fall Eyecare Conference.

Optometrists attending the conference in Wichita were able to receive 15 hours of continuing education toward the 24 hours required for relicensure.

The seminar offered sessions on pediatric care, contact lenses, pharmacology, neuro optometry, age-related macular degeneration, and obesity-related eye problems.

The seminar also featured exhibits with the latest developments in eyewear, optometric equipment, and practice management.
