LAS VEGAS — Between 80% and 85% of optometrists polled during a workshop at Vision Expo West said they have an OCT in their practice, and two-thirds said they have widefield imaging, according to moderator Mark Dunbar, OD, FAAO.
Dunbar, co-chair of Vision Expo’s education committee and a practitioner at Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, said the workshop on ocular imaging celebrated optometry’s role in primary care.
“Optometrists do 85% of all eye exams, and access to high-end imaging really puts us on a level playing field with ophthalmology and the retinal community,”
