This particular seminar seemed the best way to learn about the various benefits and options for patients wearing contact lenses. The full-day seminar was divided into three sections contact lenses, products and compliance.

A contact lens for everyone

All participants were given the opportunity to handle different types of contact lenses and solutions, while Morgan - an optometrist and staff development consultant - gave clear explanations about the differences between the products - such as toric versus multifocal, gas permeable versus soft, and multipurpose versus peroxide solutions. I had no idea there were so many different lenses and solutions available, but I now understand how to manage the different types of appointments required, to make better use of the practitioner's time.
