Activity Outline

Having 6/6 vision doesn’t always mean perfect vision in real life.

This session draws from clinical studies to explore how age, light conditions, ocular health, and contrast sensitivity impact visual performance beyond the eye chart.

Learn why managing light is crucial — and how to support patients in achieving real-world visual comfort.


Learning Objectives

  • Understand why 6/6 vision does not always equate to optimal real-world visual performance.
  • Identify key factors that impact visual comfort and clarity, including age, lighting conditions, and ocular health
  • Understand the role of contrast sensitivity in day-to-day visual tasks
  • Recognize the importance of managing light in addition to correcting refractive error
  • Apply this knowledge to recommend lens solutions that enhance patient comfort and functional vision
