CooperVision explains benefits of multifocals

Contact lens firm CooperVision has completed a series of 12 half-day courses across the UK.

The November courses included seminars, role-plays and workshops for professionals - primarily focusing on multifocal contact lenses.

At a penultimate event in London, professional relations manager of CooperVision Karl Aberdeen told practitioners that the number of global presbyopia patients was expected to rise by 35 per cent by 2020. 'Our hope is that your view of multifocal contact lenses will change by 5.30 this afternoon,' he said. Practitioners earned six CET points from three parallel sessions.

Philip Mullins from National Eyecare Group led a session on enhanced communications where he underlined the importance of practice websites reaching the first page of a Google search.
