Join our special guest, Dr. Katie Spear, as she discusses how PRECISION1® daily disposable contact lenses have helped her practice welcome patients into contact lenses for the first time and reduce contact lens dropout in patients being refit into new contact lenses.
PRECISION1® contact lenses, with SmartSurface® Technology, are the latest innovation from Alcon. PRECISION1® contact lenses are born from the Water Gradient Technology of DAILIES TOTAL1® but offered at a mainstream price. They can provide patients with precise vision, dependable comfort, and ease of handling which are the core reasons for contact lens dropout.
We hope you can join us to learn how PRECISION1® contact lenses can benefit your patients and your practice!

In the past, multifocal contact lens fitting was time-consuming and involved a great deal of trial-and-error to get an acceptable fit.
In this final webinar in our series on presbyopia, Milana Matz, OD of North Suburban Vision Consultants in Deerfield, IL, will walk us through Alcon’s “Simplified Multifocal CL Fitting Process”.
This process has resulted in high rates of fit success, including 80% success with 1 lens per eye, and 96% success with 2 lenses or less per eye!
Dr. Matz will review the process, and several real-life case studies of presbyopic patients fit into multifocals.
We hope to see you there!

Offset Multifocal Optics with OptiSync Technology
with Drs. Matthew Lampa and Stephanie Ramdass
Soft contacts frequently decenter temporally, which can lead to sub-optimal visual outcomes.
In this ODwire.org webinar, Drs. Matt Lampa and Stephanie Ramdass discuss the science behind this decentration, and how the NEW OptiSync Technology allows you to offset the multifocal optics from the center of the lens and target alignment with the patient’s visual axis.
Registered ODwire.org members can comment on the technology (and multifocal fits in general!) in this thread.
with JEFFREY S. COOPER, OD, MS, FAAO
In this highly practical ODwire.org webinar, Jeffrey Cooper MS, OD, FAAO, FCOVD, Professor Emeritus, SUNY College of Optometry, catches us up on the latest research on atropine & myopia control.
We review the literature and have a Q&A discussing how you can integrate this latest data into your own myopia control practice.
