This session will explore the important design and material properties of multifocal soft contact lenses that differentiate them from one another. This information together with a thorough examination of anterior eye state and consideration of the prescription for each patient, alongside proper use of the manufacturers' fit guide can lead to perfect first fit success.
Learning outcomes
- Practitioners will explore the vital importance of fully understanding their patient’s visual and lifestyle needs in order to recommend the best contact lens to ensure long-term successful wear
- Practitioners will consider just how important it is to stay on top of developments in contact lens material properties and design in order to meet the needs of their presbyopic patients on an ongoing basis.
