BEYOND SINGLE VISION: ADVANCED SOLUTIONS FOR MODERN VISUAL NEEDS – 1 GenDO
This session will outline how accommodation functions and why certain non-presbyopic patients may benefit from a low add or “boost.” It will also cover how to identify and support pre-presbyopic patients, along with practical approaches to recognising and managing digital eye strain in day-to-day dispensing. A dedicated segment on office lenses will also be included, focusing on the visual demands of presbyopic patients and offering practical guidance on recommending solutions for office-based individuals working across multiple screens.
Learning outcomes:
