Investing in Excellence From the beginning, Valley Contax has set itself apart by investing in the people and technology necessary to create the best possible practitioner experience. We do this because we know that for practioners, selling great lenses is only part of the equation to finding success. In addition to continual innovation and stellar products, it's critical to offer excellent, always-accessible customer support, top-notch educational resources, and fitting tools that ensure success. Valley Contax offers several unique training op- portunities to practitioners looking to sharpen their GP-fitting skills. Custom Stable Fridays are intimate and unique scleral workshops that are held every two months at our state-of-the-art facility (check valleycontax.com for upcoming dates). Attendees learn scleral fitting theory, get hands-on fitting experience, and have their lenses made on-site the same day. At valleycontax.com, we offer the Custom Stable Training Course, which consists of a 17-minute train- ing video followed by a short quiz. e high-quality video does an excellent job of covering scleral lens theory, application, removal, and troubleshooting. After watching the video, users can take the short quiz. With a passing score, they receive a certificate of completion and a discount on a Custom Stable fitting set. Investing in the Future We believe in the future of optometry and are in- volved with many colleges of optometry across the country. We invest in tomorrow's practitioners through workshops and presentations, and host on-site student days for third- and fourth-year optometry students. At these events, students get hands-on lens-fitting experience, design their own lens, and then watch as it is manufactured. In addition, Valley Contax supports the American Optometric Student Association (AOSA) through trade shows and our unique compact-fitting- set program. Once per year, we allow third- and fourth- year students who pass our Custom Stable Training Course to receive a compact five-lens fitting set. Building Practices That Change Lives We love hearing success stories, and we hear a lot of them. Our practitioner partners often write or call to tell us how our lenses have transformed a patient's life. At the end of the day, our business is about chang- ing lives. We strive to do this by continually investing in technologies that make fitting our lenses easier and more intuitive. It's our goal going forward to continue to focus on the success of our vision partners, so that lives can be changed. Resource Valley Contax. Clinical Analysis of Scleral Lenses on Regular Cor- neas.
