This lecture discusses how soft materials have evolved over the last 20 years with a focus on material properties that affect the overall performance of the lens when on the ocular surface.
This lecture will examine the reasons to fit Scleral lenses on a non-ectatic eye, delegates will learn which eyes are suitable, how to determine the initial fitting lens, how to assess the fitting and make modifications to the fit based on clinical observations.
This lecture will present how it is possible to grow your contact lens business, not only to help your patients but also your business.

This lecture will take insights from the BCLA CLEAR report on Contact Lens Complications and explore the concept of comfort in contact lenses.
This recorded webinar discusses nystagmus and associated conditions and the potential benefits sometimes overlooked that contact lenses can offer as well as considering the current evidence base.
This lecture discusses clinical optometric practice post-pandemic lockdowns, and shows how contact lenses in general have been a life saver for business during the last two years.
This article will initially consider the economic and clinical implications of myopia, before looking at how optometry might respond to these implications and what the duty of care is.
This lecture will explore the reasons why the World Council of Optometry, European Society of Ophthalmology and International Myopia Institute are calling for an evolution in the standard of care for myopia management.
This recorded webinar looks more closely, however, at ways in which practitioners can communicate the need for myopia management to their patients and how they can set up a viable myopia management service.
Demodex is one of the most common, but often overlooked, causes of blepharitis and ocular surface inflammation, being associated with between 29% and 74% of all cases of blepharitis. This article will review demodex, its prevalence, its diagnosis and its treatment.
Registrant-led peer review pack for optometrists, dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians.
This article will cover the structure and function of the tear film, the changes that occur in dry eye disease, and assessment of the tear film. The properties and formulations of eye drops, and how they act upon the different layers of the tear film will also be discussed.
The digital age of mobile phones, office and most recent ‘home office’ is driving dry eye conditions.
In this multimedia article, Professor Philip Morgan reports how eyecare practitioners can reduce the number of people discontinuing contact lens wear by proactively addressing the issue of contact lens discomfort in practice.
This presentation will discuss the impact of contact lens discomfort on contact lens patients and practices, and will aim to improve the confidence of delegates in managing these cases in order to improve patient satisfaction and reduce contact lens drop out.
This recorded CPD webinar looks at the typical prescribing trends for fitting presbyopic astigmatic patients with contact lenses.
This webinar focuses on the journey of a new astigmatic contact lens patient and the range of options available to correct their prescription, with a focus on soft toric contact lenses.
This webinar gives an overview of adapting routine optometric practice to satisfy the needs of patients with nystagmus.
This recorded webinar focuses on communication skills and understanding of today's presbyopes. It discusses different stages of presbyopia, the attitudes towards presbyopia and the overall awareness of the condition from the patient's perspective. It is designed to allow Optometrists, Contact lens Opticians and Dispensing Opticians, the opportunity to re-visit their own attitudes to presbyopia and reflect on their current practice.
This webinar will review the various components of ocular lubricant drops, explaining the role and function of each ingredient. Then, in accordance with the DEWS II Report, it will attempt to match symptoms and signs with the best profile of eye drops.
Ocular allergy is a common occurrence in practice, often giving patients significant symptoms especially in the summer months. This presentation will outline the basics behind ocular hypersensitivity and the pathogenesis of allergy. It will consider the clinical signs and symptoms of ocular allergy to enable effective identification, and differentiation from other ocular surface diseases. Currently available treatment options and the potential challenges for contact lens patients will also be considered enabling clinicians to offer the most appropriate recommendations and advice to their patients.
Dry eye disease (DED) affects hundreds of millions of people throughout the world and is one of the most frequent causes of patient visits to eye care practitioners. Exacerbated by modern lifestyles, symptoms of DED vary widely from mild dryness to severe pain and blurred vision. A better understanding of this multifactorial disease has led to new and better treatments, many of which are in the realm of optometric and contact lens practice.
This article provides an overview of ocular emergencies and their key clinical features.
This article will discuss the most common non-compliance factors for contact lens wearers and the associated consequences.
This presentation highlights the prevalence of myopia and its association with ocular conditions. The lecture draws upon the most recent research to discuss myopia management strategies, including multifocal lenses and orthokeratology.
As a result of continuing advances in contact lens materials and optical design, multifocal prescribing has increased in recent years. In 2016, multifocal contact lenses accounted for 26% of all new soft lens fits, but that's still well below the opportunity presented by this large group of potential contact lens wearers.
.
This article covers the methods and instrumentation required to identify and verify contact lenses.
This article will provide an introduction to presbyopia and discuss management options, including spectacle, contact lens and surgical correction.
This presentation will discuss practice-based methods of customising the spectacle lens option to reduce myopic progression and prevent pathologies associated with myopic extension of the eye.
This interactive CPD course reviews contact lens fitting and aftercare while also examines some of the more common issues affecting contact lens wear.
This lecture will provide an overview of the growing prevalence of dry eye disease.
