Join POF as we continue our tradition of meeting excellence at the Seventh annual West Coast Better Vision Conference at our new location the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa

Variety & Quality Guaranteed:
Learn from many different nationally known and respected optical experts that will engage and inform you.
100% Florida Approved CE:

Hassel Free ABO/NCLE Credits:

Stop Guessing About Your Credits:
POF tracks all your POF CE hours, submits them to the State and provides a personal educational transcript to POF members at no charge and to non-members for a nominal fee.

Great New Location: After each day of top-quality continuing education, you’ll have time to enjoy gourmet dining, recreation and relax at the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa that is located on 22 acres over-looking the beautiful Tampa Bay.
The Resort is the centerpiece of the quaint and serene town of Safety Harbor, Florida, which is only 15 minutes from the Tampa International Airport and Clearwater Beach. The Resort features 189 oversized guest accommodations all with a view of the Bay.
The Safety Harbor Resort is offering the reduced rates from $119 + tax with a $6 a day resort amenity fee.
For your reservations please call 888-237-8772 or 727- 726-1161
Reservations should be made by April 28, 2008 to guarantee rate and availability.
The 2,000-year-old natural mineral springs that run directly beneath the resort were first discovered by explorers seeking the Fountain of Youth. Today, we still believe in their restorative powers so much that they use this natural mineral water throughout the resort—in all three pools, in spa treatments, and of course, in their water coolers.
Recreation is taken seriously at the Safety Harbor Resort with 50,000 sq. feet of Spa facilities including a full-service salon featuring AVEDA skin care products, natural mineral spring baths, one indoor & two outdoor swimming pools, state-of-the-art exercise equipment, and seven clay Tennis courts.
