Three people have been recruited to the professional affairs team at contact lens and dry eye product supplier, Positive Impact.

Professional services director, Phil Thompson, said: “Positive Impact carries a unique range of dry eye and specialist contact lens products, which require a deeper understanding to enable practitioners to appreciate the additional benefits we can bring to their practice. 

“To this end, we have moved to a more professional affairs-led business model enabling us to better assist practitioners and their patients to gain the additional benefits these products offer.”

The new consultants are Ros Mussa, who works for The Eye Place, Caroline Presland, an  ABDO examiner and practising professional, based in Hertfordshire, and Adele Peacock, of the eye service clinics at Great Western Hospital in Swindon, Wiltshire. 

Ros will help independent practitioners to set up dry eye clinics. She has over 30 years experience, is a pre-reg supervisor and a past visiting lecturer at City University. 

Caroline will provide clinical expertise to independents. She has three decades of experience in practice and works with Positive Impact on myopia management, presbyopia, hybrid lenses and dry eye solutions. 

Adele qualified in 1992 and is a practical examiner for ABDO. She will also support independent practitioners.

Phil added the three will “enable us to better deliver an efficient and bespoke training programme, both virtual and hands on”.
