UCSF Optometry Course 2026

UCSF Optometry Course 2026 is a 7.5 hour continuing education seminar designed to provide optometrists (and all colleagues in the ophthalmic space) in all clinical settings with cutting-edge yet clinically-applicable information, based on the extensive experience of several optometrists and ophthalmologists at UCSF and San Francisco VA.  

This year’s keynote speaker is Ying Han, MD, a prominent glaucoma specialist and the medical director of the UCSF Department of Ophthalmology.  Learners will enjoy 2 hours of glaucoma education, and other updates regarding acute optic neuropathies, pediatric emergencies, scleral lenses, cicatricial conjunctivitis, neuro-ophthalmology, and major developments within Optometry in the prior year.

Proceeds from the UCSF Optometry Course support the UCSF Optometry Residency program, where we provide two select optometrists with a rich post-graduate education in ocular disease, neuro-ophthalmology, specialty contact lenses, and primary eye care.

This event will again be virtual via Zoom webinar format, with live speakers and speakers readily available for Q&A.  All optometrists in all states are welcome.
