Attendee Feedback:

Optometrists-

“I just wanted to let you all know how wonderful the Spring Congress was this year! I went to a conference back in Ohio the last two years but was thrilled to be back this year at Myrtle! The exhibit hall has grown so large, and the family night was awesome! I know it's all thanks to everyone from NCOS! My family and I had a blast and it was wonderful to be at a family friendly conference!!”

"One of the lecturers did a case presentation, and today I had a patient present similarly! Really helped having that refresher!"

"I used to attend SECO, and I prefer this conference by far, excellent location and great hours offered."

"My favorite part was being able to go with my staff and have them learn some new stuff and it being family friendly, so I wasn't always away from the family during the day."
