Discussion workshop: Toric lens tactics
Discover your toric lens fitting style: clinical insight or patient choice? Are you the type of fitter who confidently makes the best clinical recommendation, or do you prefer empowering your patients with choices? Join us for an interactive workshop where we dive into the diverse strategies eye care professionals use when prescribing toric contact lenses. This session isn't just about the science—it's about refining your communication skills, understanding the impact of lens design and material on patient comfort, and embracing a patient-centred approach that truly personalises the contact lens experience.
