This interactive discussion workshop will explore key moments in the contact lens journey of presbyopic patients, illustrating how small clinical decisions can serve as "sliding doors" moments, shaping patients’ perceptions and their contact lens experience. The session aims to encourage practitioners to reflect on how their communication and habitual fitting habits influence patient outcomes, with scenarios demonstrating how everyday clinical interactions can impact patient satisfaction and overall quality of life.

Learning outcomes:

• Practitioners will recognise the importance of a obtaining a full patient history, including the relevance of establishing ocular and lifestyle needs associated with presbyopia
• Practitioners will reflect on how they inform patients about suitable presbyopic visual correction options, with an emphasis on the features and benefits of soft multifocal contact lenses
• Practitioners will reflect on their current knowledge of soft multifocal contact lenses, and how to ensure this is kept relevant and up to date
