100% Optical: Seminar highlights

At the Association of Optometrists lounge, a discussion workshop will be held by CooperVision’s head of professional affairs Christina Olner, which explores the most common mistakes that occur when fitting presbyopes with multifocal contact lenses. Three cases will be highlighted to identify preconceptions and oversights by eye care professionals (ECPs) with opportunities for delegate interactions and debate.

Optometrists James Loughman and paediatric ophthalmologist Ian Flitcroft will present updated guidance on myopia management from the College of Optometrists on the main stage. With a focus on a more balanced interpretation of the available evidence, this lecture will explore the core requirements that optometrists must address in order to comply with these College-specific guidelines. It will also consider international recommendations from optical bodies, such as the World Council of Optometry.
