Did you know that more than 7 out of 10 contact lens wearers are unaware of multifocal contact lenses1 yet almost 1 in 2 presbyopes would consider wearing them2? With our population ageing, and practices needing to differentiate to thrive, knowing how to exceed the expectations of presbyopic patients by offering multifocal contact lenses has never been so timely.

Please join us and fellow optometrists to hear new perspectives on the topic. Emeritus Professor Eric Papas, co-author of the benchmark British Contact Lens Association CLEAR* Presbyopia3 report will share its evidence-based insights, while Philip Crossfield, optometrist and practice owner, will discuss their experience and key lessons from using multifocal contact lenses to differentiate their business. CooperVision Professional Affairs Manager, Julia Kwok will review the Binocular Progressive System® and fitting philosophy employed in MyDay® and clariti® 1 day multifocal lenses.
