We are thrilled to launch our world-first Contact Lenses for Kids online course. This course is composed of six video lesson modules, each 30 minutes long, for a total duration of three hours. Each module also includes a full reference list and key scientific paper for you to download to extend your learning. Learn more about the course in this video.
The key inspiration for us in building this course is to increase your confidence in fitting children, aged 12 and under, with contact lenses. You may already be quite confident fitting teenagers and adults with contact lenses, but may be hesitant to fit children. This course will give you the knowledge and skills to change that. The foundation to this course is a strong evidence base, with over 80 scientific references included. Where relevant, we compare research outcomes in children to those in teenagers and adults, to demonstrate just how successful, satisfied and safe children can be as contact lens wearers.
Designed for an international audience, this is a topic universal to primary eye care. This course is not just about myopia control - it's about the multitude of how, when and why reasons that children can thrive in contact lens wear, and how to ensure your communication and practice processes are set up for success.
