Activity Outline

Join us for an in-depth exploration of the next generation of intraocular lenses - EDOFs. This interactive workshop will cover contemporary cataract surgery techniques, the evolving role of EDOF IOLs, and practical considerations for optometrists when refracting these patients post-operatively.

Our ophthalmology team will guide attendees through real-world case studies and share insights into best-practice management of cataract patients, from pre-operative counselling through to post-operative care. The evening will also include a hands-on component, with pre-loaded IOLs available for participants to examine and gain a practical understanding of the technology.
