Support staff training programme : module 5 - contact lens options

This is the fifth Academy in Practice support staff module from Johnson & Johnson Vision Care. This useful programme is available to all Acuvue Centre of Excellence practices in binder format with accompanying CD-Roms. These CDs can be used to train new staff on how to teach contact lens handling skills, and patients can take them home to reinforce the techniques they have learned.

The purpose of the ‘Lens application and removal’ module is to provide some helpful hints and practical tips for all staff involved in educating the new contact lens wearer and existing lens wearer who is new to your practice or who has been prescribed a new lens design which may have different handling characteristics.
