SA

• Vision Eye Institute x Specsavers

We had a great night at the interactive Vision Eye Institute x Specsavers CPD event held at their Rundle Mall store, where 16 Specsavers optometrists from around South Australia split into two groups. These groups rotated through a session with Dr Soo Khai Ng presenting a series of interesting retinal cases and a binocular indirect ophthalmoscope (BIO) workshop with Dr Tiger Zhou. During the workshop, optometrists were able to refine their skills, with invaluable insight and tips from Dr Zhou.
