In the next part of our free online sessions for the International Opticians Association - IOA, past international optician of the year winner Grant Hannaford will discuss a hot optic in the optics world presently.

Progressive power lenses are now the dominant form of lens correction for presbyopia in the developed world. While they have a long history of successful implementation, recent developments in the application of freeform generation and understanding of the variability in human ocular biometry have opened new opportunities for the development of highly customised PPL designs. In this talk he will examine:

*Best form for lens designs and progressive power surfaces

*The biometry of the human ocular environment and how it interacts with lens design

*Strategies for manipulating existing lens parameters for optimising PPL lens designs

*Pathways for implementing biometry in spectacle lens design and anticipated outcomes for the patient

There are two sessions to accommodate time zones around the world. CPD hour is accredited for UK, pending for Australia and New Zealand. A certificate will be issued to all attendees. Please go to https://aaoo.net.au/enrolment/ to register.
