Light sensitivity is a common challenge across multiple patient groups, from migraine and post‑COVID to neurological and visual disorders.

This session introduces the fundamentals of the color spectrum and explores how targeted optical filters can selectively reduce or modify specific wavelengths to improve comfort and functional vision.

Through clinical cases, you’ll get insights into how different filter types can ease photophobia, support visual processing, and enhance daily functioning for symptomatic patients.

New intraocular lens (IOL) concepts continue to emerge each year, bringing new opportunities and challenges for managing postoperative refraction and patient satisfaction.

Join this lecture to get an up‑to‑date overview of the wide range of optical concepts and IOL designs currently used in cataract and refractive surgery. The session explores key topics like postoperative refraction, refractive stability, common visual and optical side effects, symptom patterns, and practical strategies for managing patient expectations based on the chosen IOL.

This engaging lecture explores cataracts from an eye care assistant’s perspective – from what happens inside the eye to how patients experience their vision after surgery.

You’ll gain a practical understanding of cataract surgery, different IOL options, and how these choices influence visual outcomes and common visual phenomena.

The session covers common post‑operative symptoms and complications, key warning signs, after‑cataract, and when it’s appropriate to perform refraction or eye examinations.

The focus is on building your clinical understanding and confidence when discussing cataract surgery in everyday practice.

Challenge yourself in this interactive, case-based quiz covering a range of ocular conditions.

Through realistic patient scenarios, you’ll evaluate symptoms, interpret clinical findings, and make informed diagnostic and management decisions.

Participate in a dynamic, quiz-driven mix of learning, laughter, and friendly competition where getting it right really matters.

Designed specifically for optometric assistants, this interactive, case-based session will challenge you to put your skills to the test, sharpen your clinical thinking, and experience how reliable measurements make all the difference in real-world decision-making.

Enhance your clinical confidence and sharpen your diagnostic skills in assessing choroidal nevi.

Join this session to get a clear, practical walkthrough of the MOLES scale, helping you interpret fundus photos, OCT images, and key risk factors with accuracy.

Through real clinical cases and step‑by‑step evaluations, you’ll learn how to distinguish benign findings from high‑risk features and make informed decisions about monitoring or referral.

The session also introduces an upcoming AI-based clinical support tool, soon to be available, designed to assist optometrists in risk assessment and decision-making while reinforcing sound clinical judgement.

Curious to learn a small optical tweak can make a big difference for your patients?

This session offers a friendly, easy‑to‑grasp introduction to prism – what it is, how it works, and why it matters more often than we think.

We’ll explore common symptoms linked to binocular imbalance and show how adding prism to a prescription can bring comfort, clarity, and confidence to many patients.

The session is perfect for you if you want to better understand the basics behind prism.

Dry eye disease is a growing global health concern which affects millions and significantly impacts quality of life and productivity.

Join this engaging session to explore the multifactorial causes of dry eye, from environmental and lifestyle factors to underlying medical conditions.

You’ll gain insights into current diagnostic approaches and the latest evidence-based treatment strategies, ranging from foundational management to advanced therapeutic options, supporting you in confident and effective management of patients with dry eye disease.
