Discussion workshop
Multifocal contact lenses offer more choice than ever before, yet many fitting challenges persist. This is not because of a lack of technology, but because of how decisions are made in the clinic. This interactive discussion workshop uses a “pick & mix” format to explore three pillars of successful multifocal contact lens fitting: lens design, fitting strategies, and communication with presbyopic patients. And along the way, every evidence-based decision earns a pick from the candy mix. Because reflective clinical decision making deserves a sweet bonus...
Learning outcomes:
- Practitioners will recognise how different multifocal contact lens designs and fitting approaches influence visual comfort and patient satisfaction in presbyopic care, relative to their scope of practice
- Practitioners will evaluate communication strategies that support realistic expectations and improve acceptance of multifocal contact lenses in clinical practice
