BOSTON – “As you’re aware, the population is aging and, thus, the criticality of treating our older patients is in crisis…we need every optometrist to take on this cause of practicing some low vision and incorporating this into their primary care in order to serve these patients,” Nicole C. Ross, OD, MSc, FAAO, said here at Optometry’s Meeting.

Ross is an assistant professor at the New England College of Optometry and, in this video, she summarized her talk on integrating low vision into your practice.
