Refund Policy -- Registrants who cancel at least 7 days before the date of the workshop will be entitled to a full refund less a $50 processing fee. If the person registered cannot attend, you may substitute another individual from your office. (Please call us with substitutions before the workshop date if at all possible!) Sorry, we are unable to offer refunds for cancellations less than 7 days in advance or for "no-shows." Those individuals will receive all of the handout materials provided by Joy Newby.

 * Practice Member policies -- A non-ophthalmologist staff person may register at the member discounted rate if the that employs them is an IAO "Practice Member." Practice memberships provide member benefits for all the ophthalmologists and non-physician staff in the office. Doctors who have retained their IAO membership in the "Individual" category may attend personally at the member rate, but their employees must pay the non-member rate. Doctors/practices can convert from an "Individual" membership to a "Practice" membership, or join the IAO as a new Practice member, at any time.  Please contact the IAO to convert/join now or if you have any questions about this policy.
