PECAA is pleased to announce its next COPE virtual education event: Myopia Management: Beyond The Blur. Taking place on Sunday, March 22nd, 11:00 am – 5:30 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. The March 22nd event will help you manage myopia with intention and confidence by applying evidence-based, patient-centered strategies across the spectrum of care, including myopia control fundamentals, dose-response relationships in treatment, behavioral and stress-related contributors to myopia progression, and the clinical intersection of myopia and glaucoma. Attendees will gain practical tools and strategies to individualize myopia management, optimize treatment selection, and improve long-term patient outcomes.
Myopia Management: Beyond The Blur 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: Cheryl Chapman, OD, IACMM, FIAOMC, FAAO, Diplomate ABO CE Hours: 2 — COPE Course ID: 99196-GO Description: This course explores the basic fundamentals of managing myopia with low dose atropine, soft multifocal contact lenses and orthokeratology. Attendees will learn how to identify appropriate candidates and the considerations in deciding which therapies may be most applicable in a given case.

Speaker: Maria Liu, OD, PhD, MPH, MBA, FAAO CE Hours: 1 — COPE Course ID: 98366-GO Description: This course explores the concept of dose-response relationships across different myopia control strategies, including multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCLs), orthokeratology (Ortho-K), low-concentration atropine (LDA) and novel myopia control spectacle lenses. Drawing from both clinical research and real-world patient management, the course will examine how treatment effectiveness relates to optical or pharmacological “dose,” as well as other contributing factors such as treatment duration, compliance and age of intervention. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how to optimize and individualize treatment strategies based on current evidence and clinical insights.
