Dr. Abdullah Sarhan and Maryam Moharib lead a September 23 session examining where artificial intelligence may matter most to optometrists.
Beyond the AI Buzzwords
Artificial intelligence is developing quickly, but for optometrists the challenge is increasingly one of relevance: Which developments matter to practice today, which are still emerging, and which are more hype than help?
That question is at the centre of AI Trends in Optometry: Cut Through the Noise, the next webinar in Eye Care Business Canada’s Optometry Practice Strategies Series.
AI Trends in Optometry: Cut Through the Noise
Dr. Abdullah Sarhan and Maryam Moharib will present the one-hour webinar on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 8:00 PM EDT.
The session will look at current AI trends through an optometry-focused lens, helping participants better understand the direction of the technology and its potential relevance to clinical practice, business operations and the broader eye care environment. The emphasis is on separating practical developments from noise and giving optometrists a clearer framework for evaluating what comes next.
