Watsonville, CA (September 3, 2014) Nordic Naturals, leader in omega-3 eye health, will host “Omega-3s in Primary Eye Care—What You Should Know Today,” a lecture by John Lahr, O.D., FAAO, during the International Vision Expo and Conference at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, September 17–20. Dr. Lahr will speak on Thursday, September 18, from 9:45 to 10:45 AM. He will present an overview on the role of EPA and DHA in general health and eye health; review the latest omega-3 research with regard to vision; and share how to effectively integrate quality omega-3s into primary eye care practice so that practitioners can prescribe with confidence. Continuing education credit is available.
Nordic Naturals, which offers the leading omega-3 eye health products in the market, will showcase their award-winning professional line at booth MS9048. The company offers targeted products for eye health including ProOmega®, a double-strength EPA+DHA concentrate for more omega-3 benefits in fewer servings; ProDHA Eye®, a combination of concentrated fish oil with FloraGlo® Lutein; and, ProOmega®-3.6.9, a concentrated EFA blend of EPA+DHA combined with GLA from borage oil and the omega-9 oleic acid. All orders placed during the conference will receive a discount of 20%.
According to Monique Wellise, Education and Professional Sales Manager at Nordic Naturals, “If a patient has an omega-3 deficiency, they will not experience optimal eye health. Ninety-one percent of Americans are deficient in these important fats. Therefore, it is extremely important that eye care professionals—our custodians of the eye—understand omega-3 mechanisms of action and the critical role they play in eye health so that they can empower their patients with this knowledge.”
Dr. John Lahr is a recognized speaker on many eye care topics including nutritional supplements and ocular surface disease. He was an original member of the Clinical Practice Guidelines Committee of American Optometric Association (AOA) to develop practice standards and protocols for the profession. Dr. Lahr is a Past President of the Minnesota Optometric Association and served on many centers and committees for the AOA, regional, and state associations. He currently participates on seven industry medical advisory boards and editorial panels.
