There is still time to register for NYSSO's LIVE Virtual Class, "Accommodation Range," presented by Paige Shoven of EssilorLuxottica this Wednesday, 7:30 -8:30 pm ET.

This course explores how the human eye adjusts focus for near and far vision through the process of accommodation. Participants will review the physiological mechanisms involved, understand how accommodation changes over time, and learn how refractive
status and optical correction affect the range of clear and comfortable vision. Illustrative cases will highlight how refractive status (emmetropia, hyperopia, or myopia) influences
the range of clear and comfortable vision, and how additions in presbyopia affect near and intermediate viewing distances.
