Medical and Optometry Schools Turn to Eyemaginations for Education Tools
Date: 06/11/2008
TOWSON, MD, June 11, 2008 - Eyemaginations continues to be embraced as the preferred source for animated education solutions for higher education institutions. Nearly all of the nation’s optometry schools and many leading medical schools have turned to Eyemaginations to develop training tools for their residents and students.
Most recently, the Yale School of Medicine and the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Services implemented Eyemaginations’ flagship software product, 3D-Eye Office, as a new tool for students to use in the classroom and as a supplemental training resource. Many schools also use 3D-Eye Office software in their clinics to educate patients about conditions and procedures. The majority of the optometry programs in the North America currently use Eyemaginations. Selected clients include The Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University, the State University of New York College of Optometry, Pacific University College of Optometry, and Illinois College of Optometry.
"We selected Eyemaginations because of the outstanding graphics and diverse content. Since we are able to customize and design modules, it is able to serve patient related educational needs in all of our specialty service areas. The easy interface and setup were particularly attractive for our large institution. Eyemaginations has been a great practice builder," said Michael Chaglasian, O.D., Chief of Staff of the
Illinois Eye Institute at the Illinois College of Optometry.
Eyemaginations, most known for developing state-of-the-art patient education solutions that help eye care professionals inform their patients about conditions and procedures, expanded its core business to focus on higher education institutions over the last 18 months.
“In working closely with eye care professionals over the last few years, we learned that our solutions are applicable as valuable teaching tools for residents and students. We look forward to our continued expansion in the academic arena,” said Jeffrey Peres, President and CEO of Eyemaginations.
