Think you know glaucoma? Let’s find out! Join us for a night of friendly competition, laughs, and learning at our highly anticipated Glaucoma Trivia Night 'I Spy With My Dilated Eye', with none other than Dr Colin Clement — the face behind the “Just Ask Dr Clement” Facebook page, a go-to resource for optometrists passionate about patient care.
We’ll be taking your phones for the duration of the trivia contest, where only the smartest group wins! Worried about not getting a prize? There’s a prize for that. Worried about your glaucoma general knowledge? That’s fine! Find a smart team and hide behind them, and just enjoy the evening with your peers. This event is free for all YO members and, to make it even better, BRING A non-YO FRIEND FOR FREE by registering them as guest, subject to approval.
