Presbyopia talk at CooperVision - Virtual Perspectives episode 3
Important date: On September 24, 2024, CooperVision is hosting the third part of the successful online training series "Virtual Perspectives". The one-hour webinar in talk-show format is aimed at eye specialists, ophthalmic professionals and students. In this episode, it provides up-to-date knowledge on the topic of presbyopia and its significance for the contact lens business.
The virtual meeting place is the CooperVision Learning Academy. Renowned experts will talk about the latest trends and research findings in the field of presbyopia and share clinical and practical experience in the fitting of multifocal contact lenses.
The webinar is divided into four thematically organized expert presentations, for which CooperVision has once again been able to attract well-known personalities from the industry. Prof. Phil Morgan, Director of Eurolens Research, summarizes current developments in the supply and fitting of multifocal contact lenses and highlights valuable aspects for practice. "Contact lenses only" is the title of the article by optician Bjørn Gottenborg, who dared to set up a store specializing exclusively in contact lenses. He reports on his experiences and the growth success of multifocal contact lenses, which now account for 50 percent of adjustments.
A Spanish optician gives a glimpse into her practice and lets the webinar participants experience the fitting of multifocal contact lenses in a clinical environment. Sensory dominance, binocular refraction and simple 0.25 dpt changes to optimize the fitting are of particular relevance.
Last but not least, Craig McArthur, optometrist and co-owner of a specialist optical store, takes us through two case studies and illustrates the benefits of a proactive approach to fitting multifocal contact lenses.
All contributions are in English and will be subtitled in the respective national language. At the end of the webinar, you can use the FAQ menu to reflect on and deepen the information you have learned.
