The presentation will take place in Room #1A25 in the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from 2:45-3:45 pm. Dr. Lahr, a recognized speaker on eye care topics including nutritional supplements and ocular surface disease, will focus on how quality omega-3 fish oil supplements are often an important missing component in optometric practices.
