02 Mar 2026
Future Practice: Alcon
Peer review
This peer review session explores the clinical, professional, and practical considerations of same-day sign-offs for contact lens fittings. Using scenarios and guided discussion, participants will reflect on when a one-visit journey can be both appropriate and effective, what standards must be upheld, and how to ensure patient safety without unnecessary delay. Sharpen your clinical judgment, share your insights, and explore how confident same-day sign-offs can support both efficiency and high-quality patient care.
Learning outcomes:
- Practitioners will recognise how to actively listen to their patient’s needs to ensure they are at the heart of decisions made about their contact lens journey
- Practitioners will be able to effectively communicate the justifications and clinical advice for same-day sign-off to their patients in a way that is clearly understood
- Practitioners will identify how to maintain adequate patient records with clinical justification and advice given when doing a same-day sign-off
