30th Reunion

It's hard to believe it's been 30 years since I graduated from optometry school. I attended my 30th reunion in Forest Grove Oregon this past weekend. It was nice meeting with 29 of my fellow graduates from Pacific University, College of Optometry, Class of 1981. The school and curriculum has expanded greatly. I took four hours of continuing education. One of the courses in sports vision went into the topic of 3D. The university opened a clinic specifically dealing with this area. As discussed earlier, there are a significant amount of patients who would have trouble viewing 3D items such as movies and seminars. Also the ability to perceive depth is so important in areas of life such as driving and sports performance. This area of vision can be enhanced through appropriate contact lenses or glasses and also vision training.
