Vision Care Symposium at the East Hampton Library

Thu, 10/31/2024 - 12:20

On Saturday, the Healthcare Foundation will sponsor a symposium at the East Hampton Library on vision care. From 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., a panel of ophthalmology experts will discuss topics of interest to individuals, caregivers, and health care professionals.

Doctors taking part include Grace Sun, Michael Nissen, and Kyle J. Godfrey of Weill Cornell Medical Center and Julie Nam of N.Y.U. Langone. They will touch on glaucoma, macular degeneration, pediatric ophthalmology, and flashing lights, floaters, and other vision issues. There will be time for questions.

The symposium is free, but seating is limited and advance registration is requested through the library's adult reference desk or the calendar page of its website.

Also this week, Norma Fioravante, a licensed senior health care coordinator, will cover the "ABCs of Medicare" during a presentation on Monday at 1 p.m. Then on Tuesday, library staff will host a record swap and listening session, with coffee, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
