PECAA is pleased to announce its next COPE virtual education event: CE Potpourri 2026: Dynamic Speakers On Compelling Ocular Topics. Taking place on Sunday, December 6th, 11:00 am – 5:45 pm ET, this event will provide six (6) hours of COPE-accredited clinical continuing education to optometrists across the country and will be presented in a synchronous, virtual Zoom webinar format. In accordance with current COPE/ARBO guidelines, there are no testing requirements for synchronous virtual formatted courses to count as COPE approved CE credits.
Each PECAA education event provides impactful instruction on a targeted area relevant to contemporary eye care practice. This year’s CE Potpourri features dynamic speakers presenting timely clinical content on peptide therapies, binocular dysfunction, presbyopia management, the impact sleep disorders can have on ocular health and the recognition of cardiovascular disease through comprehensive eye care. It will deliver clinical pearls, casebased learning and real-world strategies that practitioners can apply immediately in practice. From advancing patient outcomes through innovative treatments to recognizing systemic conditions, this event offers valuable knowledge for today’s optometrist.
CE Potpourri 2026: Dynamic Speakers on Compelling Ocular Topics is open to all optometrists nationwide, including PECAA Max members, HEA Advantage members and non-members — PECAA Propel members are also invited to join us. We look forward to welcoming you to this event.

Speaker: Marc Myers, OD, FAAO
CE Hours: 1 — COPE Course ID: 104653-SD
Description: Sleep disorders are a group of common diagnoses that impact overall health. Inadequate sleep impacts physical, mental, social and emotional function. We will discuss the most common sleep disorders and how they directly and indirectly impact ocular health, specifically the cornea. Also, we will discuss how technology is assisting with monitoring sleep.

CE Hours: 1 — COPE Course ID: 102343-GO
Description: This case-based lecture highlights visual and ocular signs and symptoms which lead to the diagnosis of heart-related abnormalities. Optometrists have the skill set to suspect and recognize potential cardiac and vascular issues if they take the time to listen to their patients, routinely monitor blood pressure and pulse and carefully assess visual function and ocular health. Timely referral to the emergency department and/or cardiology can save vision, prevent stroke and ultimately save a life.
