Contact Lens Wear and Neurodevelopmental Disorders
Provider: Mivision
Activity Outline
In clinical practice, we can expect to see children and adults with neurodevelopmental disorders. For these individuals, apart from providing the required basic eye care, should we consider contact lenses as a visual correction option or even a myopia management intervention? The answer may not be that clear cut given the multifactorial nature and varying severity of these conditions. Being adaptable, and tailoring our decisions relative to the individual’s need, will aid in determining contact lens suitability. Neil Retallic and Dr Ketan Parmar present tips and tricks for use in practice.
