HOYA Vision Care Launches 2023 'Summer Learning Series' for Eye Care Professionals

Specially designed 8-week course features sessions about advancing US eye care, growing ECP practices, and improving the patient experience.

LEWISVILLE, Texas, May 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Ophthalmic lens technology leader HOYA Vision Care announced today its 'Summer Learning Series' of free webinars for eye care professionals (ECP) and their practices. From June 7 through July 26, 2023, HOYA will host eight specially designed courses hosted by in-house product and training experts. ECPs can register today for individual or all the webinars.
