Dry Eye University attendees will now be able to use FocalPoint Holdings team of highly-qualified consultants to efficiently launch their Dry Eye clinic by educating/training the staff, analyzing unique practice data to formulate optimal workflows, and continuously monitoring the clinic’s progress for sustained growth.
