PRESENTATION
It can be challenging to relate information from scientific papers to your everyday practice fitting specialist lenses and managing the care of patients who wear them. This webinar will look at several of the papers included in the latest edition of CLAE which details specialist lenses and how these findings can be applied in practice. We will look at a range of lenses and the areas that are most sentient to practice ensuring you maximise the results and understand what aspects should be looked at closely. CPD* ref: C-104475.
