Technology advances provide new contact lens business opportunities

Speciality contact lenses have historically been associated with unusual conditions and extreme prescriptions but advances in technology and the emergence of myopia control is making practitioners think again.

A collaboration between SynergEyes, Menicon, UltraVision and Contamac was curated by Positive Impact resulting in a day of lectures and discussion on specialist contact lenses to raise awareness and educate. On offer were 8 CET points and presentations on Hybrids, ortho-k, scleral and soft lens options as well as a focus on myopia control. The day also provided information on the business opportunities specialist lenses present along with free products and offers worth £340.
