there are a couple of ophthalmological centers who do ortho-k as an alternative to refractive surgery. I know that I could combine VT with ortho-k but I haven't incorporated in my practice yet.
We could organize some seminars on the…"

The VP of Paragon, the maker of the CRT, happens to be visiting Greece this week. It's amazing, I asked him for a referral and he mentioned his upcoming visit to Athens(?). In any event, if you want to meet up with him, his name is PM Hawkins, a wonderful guy, I've known him since 2002, when CRT was FDA approved in the states. I'm sure he'd welcome a conversation with you, since you have a strong functional background and CRT has not taken off in Greece, as it has in Spain and Italy. Just email me and I'll pass along his contact information.
Email me your address at eyeprofessionals@aol.com and I'll get a book out to you this week, as well as PM's information if requested. Again thank you for your help. ND

If you're interested, I'm happy to send you a copy for your review.
Thank you, Nick
