An interactive and stimulating course with a unique business demonstration uncovering the huge potential for contact lens wearers within your practice. The training explores the barriers to fitting multifocal contact lenses and seeks to raise the practitioners confidence in fitting modern multifocal contact lenses, a significant improvement from the technologies that existed just a few years ago. We will review the currently available silicone hydrogel multifocal contact lenses and compare the material and design technologies and discuss the fitting process for each lens type via a step by step guide to both the initial fitting and over-refraction. In addition guidance will be given on how to best communicate the clinical aspects of presbyopia, its correction with multifocal contact lenses and specific tips for success will be given.

EV-28073 Multifocal workshop 2 (2010-09-07 16:00:00) 4.0 contact lens points CIBA VISION PRACTICE ACADEMY

Soft multifocal contact lenses are underutilised within the UK optometric industry and have the potential to provide significantly better visual outcomes for many individuals within the presbyopic patient population. Given that ‘dependence on reading spectacles’ in presbyopic patients has the potential to negatively impact upon their ability to function and general quality of life it is important that practitioners can effectively reduce/eliminate a presbyopic patients need for reading glasses. Multifocal contact lenses require a relatively greater level of skill by practitioners in order that they are fitted and adjusted appropriately. This workshop provides a hands-on opportunity for practitioners to perfect their multifocal lens fitting skills and ensure that they can provide an appropriate level of care, vision and freedom from spectacles to their presbyopic patients.
