Transitions Optical has launched Transitions VisionNEXT, an educational workshop series designed to prepare eye care professionals for light-adaptive and smart eyewear. The program, which will roll out across select U.S. cities beginning this spring, with five confirmed dates between Hartford, Conn., and Nashville, Tenn.
The initiative aims to help independent practices translate these emerging technologies—into actionable insights for patient care. Transitions, part of the EssilorLuxottica group, is positioning VisionNEXT as a way to equip ECPs with the tools and confidence to modernize the in-office experience, meet patient expectations, and elevate the standard of care.
These workshops are complimentary and open to all U.S. eyecare professionals.
