Can we look at the whole visual system, the co-operation between the eyes and the brain, and on how an individual perceives the world and alter our lens design and dispensing considerations? This lecture looks at the visual system and what we can do to give an individual wearer the best perceived vision.

OSASupported by her research in paediatric facial anthropometry and the considerations this brings to suitable spectacle frames for children, Dr Alicia Thompson will take attendees through a range of aspects it is essential to consider when dispensing children. Delegates will be asked to consider the perspective of the child and how they may view the experience of the dispensing appointment, as well as consider their developmental situation. The relationship between different facial and frame measurements will be covered in detail and includes discussions on the facial development of children from birth and how this relates to facial measurements and frame fitting. This lecture will also look at some specific characteristics and general facial measurement indications for children of different ethnicities and children with Down syndrome. Discussions on frame availability and considerations on appropriate lens choices will also be conducted.

OSADemand for home-testing of visual acuity (VA) in children with amblyopia significantly increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Since May 2023, home visual testing prototypes including Optonet and IbisVision have been clinically tested by orthoptists. Many children are required to be absent from education every 6 to 8 weeks to attend eye appointments which negatively impacts their learning and can be expensive or inconvenient for parents. Thus, home VA testing would be beneficial to help limit these disadvantages. This session will explore the experiences and learnings from using remote digital vision testing, and include a wider discussions of what is next for paediatric assessments.

OSAThis discussion workshop will help delegates appreciate the importance and value of evidence-based practice and understand what makes a good clinical trial. This will in turn help them evaluate the efficacy in a considered manner and be able to share their learnings with children and their parents or guardians to ensure they understand their chosen myopia management solutions and have realistic expectations.

OSAThis session will focus on the critical need for a more patient-centred approach when recommending spectacle lens solutions, emphasising the importance of considering a patient’s occupation, lifestyle and personal preferences. The session will review current specialist lens solutions, including occupational-specific designs and explore how these can meet the growing demand for personalised eye care. Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to integrate these considerations into their practice, ensuring better visual outcomes and fostering stronger patient relationships.
