Watsonville, CA (September 17, 2013) Nordic Naturals, leader in omega-3 eye health, will host “Omega-3 Fish Oil: The Ideal Complement to the Optometric Practice,” a lecture by John Lahr, O.D., FAAO, to be held during the International Vision Expo and Conference at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas. The convention runs from October 2-5, 2013. Dr. Lahr will speak on Friday, October 4th from 5 to 6 PM in Room 304. Continuing education credit is available. According to Dr. Lahr, “Quality omega-3 fish oil supplements are a missing component of many practices. Conference attendees are invited to learn the powerful clinical benefits of EPA and DHA for multiple patient conditions, including ocular surface diseases and macular degeneration.” The lecture will also present how to evaluate the various omega-3 products in the market and determine the optimal supplements to benefit patients and practice. “I plan to close this talk with a highly practical review of the income opportunity in effectively managing your patient's purchases of omega-3 products, considering both compliance as well as the practice's bottom line,” adds Dr. Lahr. Nordic Naturals will showcase their award winning professional line of fish oil products at booth MS9048, offering the leading omega-3 eye health products in the market.
