PECAA is pleased to announce its next COPE virtual education event: CE Potpourri 2025: Dynamic Speakers On Compelling Ocular Topics. Taking place on Sunday, December 7th, 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 December 7th event will feature discussions on compelling ocular topics not commonly discussed in the eye care profession. Attendees will expand their understanding on retinal cases specifically in relation to the optic nerve and when best to refer for these patients. These lectures will also provide a deeper look into primary angle-closure disease and ocular allergies.
CE Potpourri 2025: 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: Blair Lonsberry, MS, OD, MEd., FAAO CE Hours: 1 — COPE Course ID: 95942-TD Description: The diagnosis and management of ocular inflammation is a crucial part of what optometrists encounter routinely in practice.

Speaker: Julie Rodman, OD, MSc, FAAO, FORS CE Hours: 2 — COPE Course ID: 95921-TD Description: Knowing when to refer a patient to the retina clinic can be challenging. Often, multimodal imaging yields results that are challenging to interpret and subtle in presentation. This course will investigate various retinal conditions that are commonly encountered in optometry practices including epiretinal membrane, commotio retinae, vitreomacular traction, partial thickness and full thickness macular holes, retinal tears/detachments, and lattice degeneration. Open-ended discussion will be used to interact with the audience and discuss clinical pearls that will guide management decisions. Should I refer this — or not?

Speaker: Marcus Gonzales, OD, FAAO CE Hours: 1 — COPE Course ID: 95399-GL Description: This 1-hour course reviews the various presentations of the primary angle-closure disease spectrum.
