With some manufacturers stating first fit success in the region of 90% of new fits, this workshop will explore whether this is still relevant. By addressing many of the clinical and practical factors within the fitting routine and giving consideration to their impact on success, the workshop dares the delegates, armed with knowledge and confidence, to increase their fitting success rates and reduce chair time, before even putting a lens on an eye!

Learning outcomes: 

• Practitioners will discuss how positive language and practitioner behaviour influence patient confidence and satisfaction in multifocal contact lens wear
• Practitioners will evaluate manufacturers’ fitting guides and assess their relevance to achieving successful multifocal contact lens outcomes
• Practitioners will analyse lifestyle and clinical factors influencing multifocal fitting success and appraise how lens design features contribute to optimal visual performance
