Eyecare Education Free CPD Webinar

Join us for next installment in the Mark’ennovy FREE CPD Webinar series on 15th October at 7pm.

This lecture will consider the different areas communication necessary when supporting patients with myopia management. Considerations on discussing risk, product and adherence to treatment with patients and their parents/carers shall be explored.

Risk – the ‘why’. How risk of myopia-related pathologies later in life can be made relevant to children and their parents/carers. What can you say and what can’t you say. What red flags do you need to consider – especially when talking to myopia parents.

Product – what is available, how do you explain how they work, how can choice of product be individualised through visual task analysis. Ensuring consent at all stages.

Adherence to treatment – Providing correction AND treatment rather than just correction. Helping patients understand these aren’t just glasses or contact lenses. What does good look like. Keeping an eye on how they’re going and understanding when a change is needed.
