DAY 1 Preparing for the New Wave in Optometry Friday, 30 July 2021 ● 10:30 – 11:55hrs (Singapore Time UTC+8) Evolving trends and innovations in ophthalmology have made it important for primary care providers such as optometrists, opticians, and other allied health professionals to keep abreast of these developments. Today, there are various types of technology such as refractive surgery equipment and intraocular lenses. This requires us to be more knowledgeable when counselling our patients and customers, and recommending suitable solutions or treatment options. Eminent speakers will provide us with the latest updates in clinical care and how best we can apply this knowledge in our day to day practice.
