NEW YORK— A World Yacht cruise around Manhattan provided a unique setting for an ABO continuing education course sponsored by Transitions Optical to educate local ECPs about the company’s new Vantage adaptive lens that not only darkens but also polarizes outdoors. In addition to teaching attendees about Transitions’ newest photochromic lens technology, the presentation also introduced the Sight of the Day Photo Contest at www.seemoresights.com and covered the fact that 12,000 consumers visit Transitions.com to locate an ECP. Participants were also invited to join the Star Partner program. ■
