Eyecare practitioners can earn CPD points this month by taking part in a new varifocal lens training programme with Essilor.
Commencing on Monday 14 November, the whole week will be dedicated to varifocal lens prescribing and dispensing – allowing practitioners to brush up on their skills and earn four CPD points.
Delegates will hear best practice tips from international practitioners, learn about the science of accurate PPL refraction from the principal at ABDO College, Dr Robert Cubbidge, and harness some communication tips from health psychologist, Dr Fiona Fylan.
Charlotte Timbury, Varilux product and category manager at EssilorLuxottica in North Europe, said: “The lectures are designed to help educate and enhance varifocal knowledge amongst ECPs with key academics and industry leaders covering an array of topics within the world of varifocals over the week.”
The company has also launched an enhanced patient adaptation guarantee, and new marketing assets for the brand.
“Our combined approach for Varilux this winter will not only help increase ECP awareness of the brand, but also strive to boost awareness of the ECP locally and maximise awareness of the Varilux brand in practice,” added Charlotte.
All sessions start at 1pm. The schedule is as follows:
