SUMMARY:A Practical Classification of IOLs & EDOF Technology
DESCRIPTION:THE LENS AUDIT: A Practical Classification of IOLs & EDOF Technology\nNext session is on Wednesday 4TH of November 2026\, 19:00- 20:00\,\nFor optometrists and specialty optometrists (AS / SP / IP)\nPatients often ask their optician about halos\, reading distance\, or why one lens costs more than\nanother\, sometimes after the surgical decision is already made. This session gives you a brand\nagnostic framework to answer those questions with confidence.\nBy the end of the session\, you will be able to:\n• classify monofocal\, enhanced monofocal\, EDOF and diffractive/refractive multifocal IOLs by\noptical mechanism\n• rank night glare and halo risk across lens types and use it in a balanced conversation with\npatients who drive at night.\nWe cover every major brand (Alcon\, J&J Vision\, Bausch + Lomb\, Carl Zeiss\, Hoya\, BVI\, Rayner\,\nSIFI)\, how near-add translates into real working distance\, how pupil size changes EDOF\nperformance\, spherical aberration and refractive targets\, and how to tell a genuine recall from a\nclass effect.\nFormat: 50-minute lecture\, then 10 minutes of open discussion. Bring your patient scenarios.\nTo register\, reply to this email with your full name\, GOC number and practice name. Places are\nlimited to 100 each session. We will send the Google Meet link upon your reply to this email. \nemail: info@thelensaudit.com
