This is the third and final case study in Docet’s module on fitting presbyopic patients with contact lenses. The case studies will give optometrists the opportunity to apply their learning from the Contact Lenses: Presbyopia series and contain examples of real patients, similar to those that commonly attend community practice. Part 7, Case study Damien The third case study looks at fitting a challenging presbyopic contact lens wearer with RGP toric multifocal lenses. The course considers the patient’s lifestyle and goes through the steps of fitting and modifying the RGP lenses to result in a successful fit. This course will help an optometrist build their confidence around fitting a more complex presbyopic patient. The expert presenter guides the practitioners through the fitting process and shows how to explain the lenses and communicate effectively with patients, along with tips to increase success when fitting RGP multifocals. To take the course and gain 1 non-interactive CPD point click the link below https://lnkd.in/etzHwd46 "I must confess I am a monovision prescriber on the whole as maybe I have found the world of mulitfocal contact lenses a bit daunting. This CPD exercise has given me more confidence in what to prescribe and when.
