Decoding Discomfort: discussion workshop in collaboration with Johnson & Johnson Vision - 3 Dec

Can you solve the clues to decode contact lens discomfort? With 75% of contact lens wearers agreeing that they would like more from their contact lenses, how can practitioners ensure they provide their patients with the best contact lens wearing experience? By incorporating peer-reviewed publications with interactive puzzles, this fast-paced discussion workshop will task practitioners to uncover some of the key factors influencing true contact lens wearer satisfaction.

Please note this event is also being run on 18 September, 1 October and 10 October. You only need to attend one of these sessions.
