Bradford will host the first of these on Sunday, September 23. Beginning the morning session, Tim Hunter, head of optometry services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust, will review advanced fitting of rigid gas-permeable lenses. As part of his work at the hospital, Hunter fits scleral, RGP and specialist soft contact lenses to adults, children and babies. He will include case studies from the HES, guidance on fitting advanced RGPs, critical parameters required for fitting and the benefits and disadvantages of advanced RGPs for specific cases, such as kerataconus high astigmatism scarred and irregular corneas.
