Audience

This training program is designed for those who want more responsibility in the Contact Lens area of the practice and to offer a growth opportunity to a team member. It is best for those with little to no experience with contact lenses, but it can be modified, based on the module, for those who have had more experience in this area as well. 

Program Preparation

To facilitate a customized program for your team and to optimize the learning experience for all participants, it is imperative that each attendee completes a mandatory form designed to assess individual experience levels and comfort with the specific tasks covered in the training session. Your Trainer will send the form before the scheduled session, and completion by each participant is a requirement for the training.

Note: Access to a slit lamp is required for both the Trainer and the learners for the comprehensive two-day program.
