Online peer review for independent practitioners: Presbyopia perspectives

In partnership with the Vision team at Johnson & Johnson, this peer review session is designed for AOP members in independent practice who want to refine their approach to fitting multifocal soft contact lenses for presbyopic patients.

Following a brief AOP update, this interactive session will explore the complexities and nuances of multifocal lens fitting. Delegates will engage in discussions on different multifocal technologies, share personal experiences, and reflect on the challenges and successes in managing presbyopic patients. The session will highlight how to tailor recommendations using a patient-centred approach, ensuring the best possible outcomes for both practitioners and patients.

Please note: This peer review was delivered at 100% Optical 2025 so is unsuitable for delegates who attended the same session at that event.
