KeraSoft IC Step-byStep Video Training
Release date: 19th Oct 2011
A series of online training videos has been launched by UltraVision CLPL for KeraSoft IC, the specialist soft contact lens designed to give patients with keratoconus and other irregular cornea conditions clear, comfortable vision all day long. A step-by-step guide of the whole KeraSoft IC fitting process is provided for the practitioner; from assessment of the cornea, through to making adjustments to the periphery of the lens.
The videos are being extremely well received; eye care professionals’ feedback includes Werner Noeth from South Africa saying, “I feel even more confident now and have fitted around 22 patients with great success” and Fernandez Fernandez-Velazquez, an irregular cornea specialist from Spain, commented “Thumbs up for your new online training, it is a wonderful achievement”. The package is designed as an advanced tool to enable practitioners, even with minimal specialist experience, to fit complex irregular corneas.
The KeraSoft IC training videos are found on the dedicated training web site www.kerasoft.co.uk/training and each user is provided with unique login details, allowing them the freedom to train at their individual pace.
A range of close-ups of the lens on-eye enables the contact lens fitter to confidently identify an optimal, tight or flat fitting lens in practice. Grouped into Core Fitting modules the videos cover the fitting process for the majority of irregular corneas with minimal adjustment to the lens. The Completion section outlines the requirements for ordering the required lens and the Advanced Fitting modules guide the practitioner through more complex fitting cases. Complimentary fitting tools to use in the consulting room and useful clinical hints and tips from the Troubleshooting section are also available to download from the website.
Presentation Certificates are available for practitioners who successfully complete the course and a short online multiple choice exam.
