The purpose of this course is to help refine the ECP’s ability to choose an optimal soft trial lens through integrated methods of prescriptive interpretation, fitting, choice and follow up. ECPs must take into account standard fitting techniques as well as applying current modalities needed for new designs and materials. The choice of a correct, initial trial lens leads to patient comfort, safety and trust. However, the fitting process does not end with the initial lens dispensed. Excellent and advanced follow up is needed to assure that a patient has comfort, good visual acuity and maintains ocular and corneal health. The development of consistent procedures and adherence to high standards is emphasized in this course to assist the ECP in reaching the next level of soft lens fitting.
