Alcon and SightCare offer presbyopia training day

Alcon and SightCare have teamed up to offer a presbyopia training day to SightCare’s independent optical members.

Designed for optometrists and contact lens opticians, attendees can earn eight CET points by attending and dispensing opticians can earn five CET points. This educational event would be held at the Alcon Academy for Eyecare Excellence in Surrey on June 25.

Interactive lectures on presbyopia, and physiological and pathological ageing ocular changes are to be held in the morning. Afternoon workshops are to focus on mastering multifocals and getting inside cataract surgery. Dispensing opticians can take part in a peer discussion session on presbyopia, contact lenses and how these may vary for the individual patient.
