Session two: Confidence with comfort
Between demanding schedules, challenging environments, and long hours spent on digital devices, the demands of the modern contact lens wearer have evolved.
This webinar will help practitioners identify ways to fully understand patients’ wearing experience and explore common causes of visual and physical discomfort in contact lens wear. Using patient scenarios, this session will explore how practitioners can be armed with the knowledge and confidence needed to truly maximise contact lens comfort, giving patients the best possible wearing experience.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will appreciate the importance of obtaining a full patient history in order to recommend the most appropriate contact lens to meet the patient’s lifestyle and visual needs
- Practitioners will consider effective ways to recommend a visual solution to patients, allowing the patient to be fully involved in the decisions made about their care
- Practitioners will reflect on their current soft contact lens knowledge and ways of ensuring that this is kept up to date
