On October 16, 2019, Dr. Ken Lindahl was the keynote speaker at the Rochester Optometric Society. He presented to approximately 70 local Optometrists over a dinner at the Inn On Broadway. His presentation, named How Low Can We Go? - Surgical Correction of Astigmatism and Glaucoma Surgery for the Cataract Patient was very well received. 

Dr. Lindahl discussed his philosophy on managing astigmatism, tools and diagnostics, glaucoma treatment for the cataract patient and advanced technologies. He reviewed a series of case studies and took Q & A in this interactive presentation. Optometrists received Continuing Education credits for attending.
