Discussion workshop: Delving into the life of a presbyope
Despite the great advances in multifocal contact lenses, successfully fitting presbyopes can still be challenging for the eye care practitioner and the practice team.

Using small group discussions, delegates will discover how to increase excitement and successfully approach the offer of contact lenses for presbyopes presenting to the practice
