Roy A. Kline, OD – Retired

Photo of Dr. KlineDr. Roy A. Kline – I am a graduate from SUNY Oswego with a BA in Biochemistry and Pennsylvania College of Optometry (Salus University) with a doctorate in optometry. During my years as a student, I worked first as a biochemist and later in an office that performed clinical investigations for contact lenses and solutions. We helped to launch these products into the marketplace once they had received FDA approval. With extensive background in contacts and solutions, I combined my work experience to open my own practice in 1986.

Our current practice Drs. Kline & Boyd PLLC is one of the largest contact lens practices in NY State. Our practice is one of the first offices to incorporate daily disposal contact lenses as a first choice to our patients. In 2012 we were the third largest daily disposable practice in the United States. We are the first optometric office in NYS to obtain certification for utilizing the Tear Lab Test and implemented this test in our office in 2014. Our practice subsequently offers a Dry Eye Testing Center.

I began my partnership with CIBA Vision in the early 90s, and after 15 years as a lead in their Speaker Program, I was asked to develop their Professional Development Program. My lectures for CIBA Vision have included: managing eye diseases with current pharmaceuticals, business management courses, and introduction to new contact lenses, dry eye management, and contact lens fitting and troubleshooting. I have given over 1,000 lectures in the last 25 years. In 2011, I produced the Dailies Disposable Contact Lens handbook for the CIBA Vision sales force. This project consisted of a comprehensive 120-page manual outlining strategic processes for the implementation of daily disposable contacts into Optometric offices nationwide.

In January of 2014, I transitioned to the speaker team at Bausch & Lomb. Their innovative products, support for the industry, research and development, and management team are world class. I work with their product development, advisory boards, and marketing and training teams. My most substantial involvement is with the public speaking facet of Bausch & Lomb. I helped develop the sales force phase 4 training program and am present at training classes on a quarterly basis. I also advise the Bausch & Lomb sales force and assist with the launch of their products in Canada.

As an advisory board member for the past 25 years, I have been associated with contact lens and solution boards for variety of different companies. I am a member of the AOA, NYS Optometric Association, Contact Lens Association of the AOA, and National Glaucoma Society.
