This lecture with discussion will consider the impact of different working distances on progressive spectacle lens dispensing and refraction. Digital screen use and working environments are crucial considerations for accurate and successful progressive lens wear and this lecture along with group discussion will look at these areas in detail.

Learning outcomes:

Practitioners will understand the importance of good questioning to uncover the working environments and therefore the needs of the progressive lens wearer

Practitioners will understand how different working distances and digital screens impact progressive lens dispensing, refraction and design consideration.
