CCVC is a unique meeting that draws attendees from all over the
world. Students and Residents are welcome to attend on a space
available basis, adding to the diversity of the group. CCVC is
unlike most CE events you’ve attended, it’s interactive and invites
participation – everyone is a speaker, and alternately, everyone is
a listener as well.
A general topic is announced each year, enticing attendees to
come check out this one-of-a-kind event. Once everyone comes
together in Memphis, the questions for the conference are revealed
and the groups are assigned. Small groups are created and assigned
a group facilitator. The groups disperse to various areas of the
SCO campus where they can spread out, discuss, demonstrate, plan,
and cre-ate - whatever is necessary. Everyone in the group has a
voice and shares their experiences – whether a student, a retired
practitioner, afaculty member, or a therapist, everyone onecan and
does contribute.
Later, (with ample breaks and delicious refreshments provided)
the small groups come back together as a large group and present
their “answers.” As a large group we listen, question, share, and
discuss. No one person or group has THE ANSWER (often there isn’t
ONE answer) – but themes and patterns start to emerge and consensus
is reached. Ideas for future research and exploration are
realized.
The evenings bring ample time to socialize and enjoy the company
of colleagues and friends. There is always time for some Memphis
BBQ, touring the iconic sites of Memphis, a trip to Beale Street to
take in some live music, etc.
CCVC is enjoyable for many reasons - the location, the
hospitality, the interactions, the (optometric) family, the new
friends, and the growth and learning! We hope you join us this July
for a meeting unlike any other!

Topic
Myopia: It's Worldwide Impact:Myopia has been the topic of many
meetings looking into the best approaches to clinical management
and understanding the underlying mechanisms. All eye care
professionals deal with it on a daily basis. The Brien Holden
Institute and the World Council of Optometry have called myopia the
number one cause of blindness in the world. We will explore the
impact myopia has from the level of the individual to worldwide
economies and we will explore what effects having our approaches to
the care of myopia would have at all levels.
