Northwoods Retreat

On October 13-14, 28 Doctors of Optometry from Wisconsin and surrounding states converged on The Wild Eagle Lodge in Eagle River for the 30th Annual Northwoods Retreat (known as Musky Hunt in it’s early years). Eight hours of great education were provided by Charisse Chin, M.D., Jennifer Unger, M.D., Alexander Foster, M.D. and David Nash, M.D. covering topics that included oculoplastics, dry ARMD with geographic atrophy, dropless cataract surgery, surgical lens selection and pediatrics with a focus on idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The lectures were well received and sparked great conversation amongst the group.

Despite the cold and cloudy weather Eagle River still had wonderful fall colors. Numerous fish were caught, and a few attendees had children out fishing for the first time! Several groups ventured downtown to browse the shops and others checked out the vendors at the pumpkin festival in Three Lakes.

Industry partners who provided sponsorship for the event included Cherry Optical Lab, Fait Distribution and Viatris. Please make sure to thank them for their support of WOA education events next time they stop in your office!

A huge thank you to Northwoods Chair, Dr. Angela Rodriguez, for putting together a great event this year as she has done over the last several years!
