David Shein, MD
Tuesday, December 9th, 2025
7 pm to 9 pm
This two-hour course prepares optometrists to deliver safe, effective pain care without opioids. Participants will learn to identify patients at risk for Opioid misuse, counsel on side effects, safe use, storage, and disposal, and direct treatment toward evidence-based non-opioid options for common ocular pain (abrasions, inflammatory conditions, post-procedure discomfort). The session includes overdose prevention fundamentals, including when and how to recommend naloxone and how patients can access it. The course closes with documentation language and workflows that align with Massachusetts training requirements.
