Hybrid lenses combine the visual performance of a RGP lens with the comfort of a soft lens, makes them a powerful tool in correcting vision for patients with irregular corneas, Pellucid Marginal degeneration and post ocular surgeries (e.g. Corneal cross-linking, Corneal transplant, Radial Keratotomy and INTACS). This program will combine the necessary theory on these topics, as well as providing a practical workshop for Hybrid contact lens fitting and assessment. The theoretical part is designed to illustrate the main steps needed to optimize the ideal hybrid contact lenses for your patient with irregular corneas as well as providing an explanation of the fluorescein pattern that needs to be considered. The following workshop will provide a unique opportunity to increase confidence in Hybrid lens fitting skills. This programme provides a hands-on opportunity for practitioners to perfect their Hybrid contact lenses fitting skills and practice; insertion and removal of hybrid lenses, adapting a routine assessment of Hybrid lenses fitting, modifying the Hybrid lenses fitting when necessary, grading of fluorescein pattern, recoding of Hybrid contact lens fit, the effect of changing the lens parameters on the lens fit, interpretation of findings material and solution selection and lens ordering.
