This is the third case study on fitting presbyopic patients with contact lenses, part of Docet’s Contact Lenses: Presbyopia module. This case looks at fitting a challenging presbyopic contact lens wearer with RGP toric multifocal lenses. The patient’s lifestyle is considered as the case works through the steps of successfully fitting and modifying the RGP lenses. This course will help an optometrist build their confidence around fitting a more complex presbyopic patient.

Topics: Presbyopia, Tear film, Dry eye, Tears, Multifocal, Monovision, Contact lenses, RGP, Toric, Aftercare, Presbyopia series.

This is the second case study on fitting presbyopic patients with contact lenses, part of Docet’s Contact Lenses: Presbyopia module. This case looks at the re-fitting of a typical presbyopic contact lens wearer with multifocal lenses. The patient’s lifestyle is considered as the case works through the steps of successfully fitting and modifying two soft multifocal contact lens designs. This course will help an optometrist build their confidence fitting common multifocal lenses and discuss how to effectively communicate with the patient.

Topics: Presbyopia, Tear film, Dry eye, Tears, Multifocal, Monovision, Contact lenses, Soft, Aftercare, Presbyopia series.
