Fitting eyewear to our little patients requires additional patience. These tiny consumers come with a parent or guardian so unique relationships must take place in a short period of time. What can we, as ECPs recommend to achieve the best fit and visual experience for the child? This course will demonstrate the best ways to measure the pupillary distance, look at better frame/lens designs for toddlers along with assessing the fit and adjusting techniques.
Learning Objectives:
Upon conclusion of this activity, attendees will be able to:
Educate the parent/guardian on key behavioral indicators of poor vision
Recognize the optical needs of a toddler through Rx interpretation
List three techniques for accurately measuring the pupillary distance of a toddler
Describe the method for choosing the correct frame fit for toddlers and small children
