About the session
CPD ref: C-108527
Description
This session, which takes place within the exhibition hall on the company stands using headsets to listen, comprises of two parts.
Part one: Alongside changing visual needs, the onset of presbyopia can have psychological as well as practical implications on a patient’s day-to-day life. In this fast-paced, interactive discussion workshop, you will work alongside your peers to discuss and manage five different presbyopic patients. Focussing on the benefits of effective patient-practitioner communication, this session will allow practitioners to reflect on how to manage expectations and to support patients to make informed choices about their changing ocular and lifestyle needs.
Part Two: Whilst the importance of myopia management is widely accepted, challenges around how to communicate to provoke action with parents/carers have presented more of a challenge. This session explores an easy, quick method to communicate to parents/carers and patients about the benefits of myopia management.
