Activity Outline

This CPD event will provide a comprehensive overview of PRESBYOND® Laser Blended Vision, as a premium approach to presbyopia correction. The session will explore the patient selection criteria, clinical workflow, and real-world outcomes associated with this advanced technology.

An optometry-focused presentation will also outline practical referral pathways, including pre-referral testing considerations and how to identify suitable candidates in everyday practice. Therapeutic considerations such as ocular surface optimisation will be a key focus, with discussion on dry eye assessment and management in the lead-up to referral, including discussion around red light therapy and their role in improving surgical outcomes.

In addition, the program will also feature lens-based approach to presbyopia and complex cataract surgery, providing insight into the management of challenging cases and considerations relevant to optometric co-management.
