Activity Outline

Proudly presented by The Optical Company

In a busy clinic, therapeutic decisions often need to be made quickly and confidently. This webinar provides a practical exploration of topical ocular therapeutics in everyday optometric practice. Designed to support both experienced clinicians and early-career optometrists, we’ll consider the key steps of clinical reasoning and review best-practice strategies referencing current medication availability to make prescribing less stressful and more effective.


Learning Objectives

  • Apply a structured clinical reasoning process to therapeutic decisions in common ocular presentations
  • Identify appropriate first-line topical treatments and understand when to escalate care
  • Improve clinical confidence in day-to-day prescribing with reference to current medication availability and PBS changes through case-based learning
