🌟 PLATINUM SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: EUROPA EYEWEAR AND AMERICAN OPTICAL 🌟

The excitement is building for this Sunday’s Spring Conference, and we are absolutely thrilled to shine the spotlight on another one of our incredible Platinum Sponsors—Europa Eyewear & American Optical! 👓

If you want to talk about true heritage, craftsmanship, and a fierce commitment to the independent eyecare professional, this is the table you cannot afford to miss.

Europa Eyewear has spent decades proving that independent frame companies can thrive by putting opticians and independent practices first. By bringing American Optical (AO) into their family and investing in state-of-the-art domestic manufacturing, they’ve beautifully married modern design with incredible optical history.

And what a history it is! When you look through an American Optical frame, you are looking through a piece of pure Americana:

📜 Deep Roots: Founded in 1833 by William Beecher, AO is one of the oldest eyewear companies in the country, effectively launching the American optical industry.

🚀 Out of This World: In 1958, they created the iconic Flight Goggle 58 (now known as The Original Pilot). It became the standard for military aviators and was the first sunglass to land on the moon, worn by the crew of Apollo 11!

🕶️ Presidential Elegance: Beyond the cockpit, AO frames became icons of style—most famously the Saratoga, which was the signature look of President John F. Kennedy.

We are so excited to welcome Sarah Alfano, ABOC, who will be there in person this Sunday! Sarah will have a stunning showcase of these historic and beautifully crafted frame collections. Stop by to catch up, hold a piece of history in your hands, and see how Europa and AO can bring exceptional, independent style to your board.

Thank you, Europa Eyewear and American Optical, for your amazing partnership and dedication to the Vermont opticianry community!

👉 See you all this Sunday! Get ready for a spectacular day!

🧠 Are you ready to look beyond the standard prescription? 🧠

We are officially in the final countdown for this Sunday's Opticians Association of Vermont Spring Conference, and we are wrapping up our course previews with a fascinating dive into one of the most cutting-edge areas of modern eyecare.

📍 Session Spotlight: Beyond the Eyes – An Optician’s Intro to Neuro Vision
As opticians, we excel at correcting refractive errors. But what happens when a patient's visual discomfort isn't coming from the eyes themselves, but from how the eyes and the brain work together?

This introductory course shifts the focus to neuro-visual opticianry, exploring how binocular vision issues, misalignment, and neurological factors impact our patients' daily lives.

What we’ll explore together:

The Brain-Eye Connection: A foundational look at neuro-vision and how the visual system integrates with the brain.

Spotting the Red Flags: Learn to identify the subtle signs of binocular misalignment, tracking issues, and visual stress that standard charts might miss.

Innovative Solutions: An introduction to the modern lens technologies and design strategies used to alleviate chronic headaches, eye strain, and fatigue for these specialized patients.

🗓️ The Main Event is This Sunday!
When: This Sunday, May 17, 2026

Where: Stoweflake Resort and Spa, Stowe, VT

Expand your clinical horizons, discover new ways to help your most challenging patients, and elevate your dispensing expertise to the next level!

Mike gave us permission to share a fun behind-the-scenes fact about himself to get everyone pumped for the weekend, but it definitely deserves a spotlight.

You may have guessed it... CATS! 🐾 Mike and his wife have three beautiful feline fur-babies that they completely adore as their "kids"!

Another fun fact to add to the mix: Mike's absolute favorite food is spaghetti! 🍝 (Though we're pretty sure he doesn't share his pasta with the cats!)
