The pandemic has given us an opportunity to think differently and reflect on how we utilise technology as eye care professionals to keep pace with the changing needs and behavioural changes of our patients. Mental health related issues have doubled in 2021 compared to before the pandemic and this presentation discusses how we can best relate, influence, motivate and maximise success for our contact lens patients in this "new" world. This lecture has been approved for 1 interactive CET point (C-78786) for Optom, DO and CLO.
