Discussion workshop: Screen wars - torics strike back
As eye care practitioners, do we really know how much digital screens our patients are using day-to-day? Are your patients battling digital eyestrain? Do you want to learn how toric contact lenses could be the ultimate ally for astigmats in the fight for clear, comfortable vision in the digital age? You will learn about the extent of digital device use and the symptoms of digital eyestrain. In this interactive session we’ll discover how digital screens affect patients and contribute to eyestrain. Through engaging discussions of cases, we will discover how we can address digital eyestrain with the toric contact lenses in astigmatic patients.
Learning outcome(s):
Practitioners will recognise the importance of listening to patients to determine their needs and lifestyle by asking the right questions (s.1)
