In
our final conference highlight, we feature a workshop by Sarah Farrant
MCOptom, Optometrist, titled “How do you manage dry eye in contact lens
patients?”
Sarah will review factors influencing
the successful management of contact lens patients suffering with dry
eye including those people who may not be able to wear them. She will
look at patient’s expectations and how understanding and successfully
managing them can influence their experience with contact lenses.
She will also look at the management
strategies including finding the right contact lens for patients with
dry eye from initial examination, to reviewing lenses and dry eye
treatments that they may need. Finally, she will review the aftercare of
this group of individuals.
The College of Optometrists and the BCLA
have teamed up to offer dedicated contact lens sessions offering
contact lens CET points at Optometry Tomorrow 2016 (13-14 March 2016,
Birmingham Hilton Metropole). Sarah Farrant's session will offer 1 CET
point.
