Emergency and urgent eye condition triage is a process which involves the entire optometry practice team. Good awareness of red flag signs and symptoms amongst front of practice staff is vital, along with good clinical knowledge of the optometrist to aid effective triage. Having the correct processes in practice set up is also vital so that patients are seen without delay when the suffer a serious condition. This lecture will cover the key principles of an effective triage system within optometry practice.
This lecture will review the Ireland Eye Study investigating whether refractive error and vision problems in children are associated with increased sedentary behaviour, reduced participation in physical activity and increases in body mass index.
This article will initially consider the economic and clinical implications of myopia, before looking at how optometry might respond to these implications and what the duty of care is.

This presentation will discuss the impact of contact lens discomfort on contact lens patients and practices, and will aim to improve the confidence of delegates in managing these cases in order to improve patient satisfaction and reduce contact lens drop out.
In this multimedia article, Professor Philip Morgan reports how eyecare practitioners can reduce the number of people discontinuing contact lens wear by proactively addressing the issue of contact lens discomfort in practice.
The webinar and slides include images from different instruments to demonstrate the logical process of the image review. At each stage we will consider differential diagnosis. Including additional diagnostic tests that can be carried out to confirm or rule out potential diagnoses.
This recorded webinar focuses on the management of binocular vision anomalies in optometric practice.
This lecture will discuss the benefits of looking beyond the posterior pole and will examine why optometrists should screen and document the retinal periphery. Typical abnormalities affecting the retinal periphery will be discussed.
Technology in the optical industry is constantly developing. In particular, OCT and ultra-widefield (UWF) are becoming vital tools to help identify retinal pathology. Optometrist Faye McDearmid will discuss why she chose to invest in UWF technology for her practice.
This article describes the considerations that need to be made when dispensing free-form progressive powered lenses and how to reduce non-tolerance in practice.
As a result of continuing advances in contact lens materials and optical design, multifocal prescribing has increased in recent years. In 2016, multifocal contact lenses accounted for 26% of all new soft lens fits, but that's still well below the opportunity presented by this large group of potential contact lens wearers.
In this lecture, recorded at Optrafair 2018, Professor John Marshall leads a panel of experts to look at the evidence behind that case that blue light is harmful to the retina.
