Dr. Mackowsky was asked to present at WakeMed’s BIRS program to review the latest updates in the field of neuro-developmental optometry. Many of the hospital’s physical therapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation doctors attended to learn about what services Dr. Mackowsky’s clinic offers. The presentation was so well received that Dr. Mackowsky was given the opportunity to return to participate in the SHINE Conference held in early February, 2014. Over 150 conference attendees were present. Dr. Mackowsky reviewed the types of vision screening tests that can be performed easily with patients to detect vision dysfunctions and then extensively explained what treatment modalities are available to improve visual function.
