Workshops include a comprehensive discussion of design, fitting and evaluation for either Onefit™ MED or SynergEyes VS™ scleral lenses The product focus for each workshop is indicated in the schedule (below).
Attendees will have the opportunity to apply and remove lenses and evaluate the lens on eye with a slit lamp and OCT.
