Activity Outline
Progressive power lenses are now the dominant form of lens correction for presbyopia in the developed world. While they have a long history of successful implementation, recent developments in the application of freeform generation and understanding of the variability in human ocular biometry have opened new opportunities for the development of highly customised PPL designs. In this talk we will examine:
• Best form for lens designs and progressive power surfaces
• The biometry of the human ocular environment and how it interacts with lens design
• Strategies for manipulating existing lens parameters for optimising PPL lens designs
• Pathways for implementing biometry in spectacle lens design and anticipated outcomes for the patient

Learning Objectives
- Understand the interaction between ocular biometry and lens design, how to manipulate lens parameters to optimise PPL designs and learn the pathways to implement biometry into spectacle lens designs.
