The first VRICS to support the Essential Contact Lens Practice series focused on the initial assessment of the patient and some of the latest techniques for investigating the tears and ocular surface.
In this second exercise, the focus is very much on RGP lens fitting and also the identification of certain signs that may present at the aftercare appointment. As before, articles in the Essential Contact Lens Practice series are to be used as source material, in particular the following:
