Title: Bringing Extended Depth of Focus Technology into Clinical Practice
Speaker: Joseph P. Shovlin, OD, FAAO
Description: Joseph P. Shovlin, OD, FAAO, past president of the American Academy of Optometry, will lead a panel of peers in an in-depth discussion of the potential benefits of the Deseyne® daily disposable soft contact lens for presbyopia with Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) for both patients and practices.
The discussion will focus on the ease of fitting this novel EDOF lens technology and how the process differs from fitting a traditional multifocal lens. The panel will explore how Deseyne departs from the multifocal modality through a spherical anterior optical surface across the 11-mm optic and a central 1.0-mm optically inactive zone. The discussion will also examine how this design may simplify fitting, reduce chair time, and improve patient outcomes and satisfaction.
