iDay CPD session on myopia
Professor James Wolffsohn
Independent optometrists and dispensing opticians are invited to explore the science behind contrast management for myopia control during the Independents Day (iDay) annual business conference taking place from 5-6 July.
The clinical lecture, worth one CPD point, will examine contrast management as a unique mechanism of action for slowing myopia progression – and its impact on functional visual performance.
Professor James Wolffsohn, head of optometry at Aston University and chief clinical scientist for the International Myopia Institute, will present the session, titled: ‘Managing contrast to manage myopia progression’ on Sunday, 5 July.
It is designed to help practitioners recognise the role contrast levels may play in myopia development, compare contrast management and defocus myopia control interventions, and identify tools for monitoring myopia control outcomes in practice.
The lecture will also examine the scientific basis for Diffusion Optics Technology (DOT) spectacle lenses – specialised, clinically proven spectacles designed to slow the progression of myopia in children.
