Talk Description
Jillian Campbell presents on Interesting Contact Lens Cases: What They Taught Me.
Duration: 60 minutes
Synopsis: Think of this session as story time for optometrists — real cases that have stuck with me over the years and the lessons they’ve taught. You’ll hear about everything from babies with congenital cataracts to adults dealing with dry eye after Roaccutane, tricky recurrent erosions, and the challenges of managing keratoconus patients heading into cataract surgery.
Each case comes with a practical takeaway you can use in everyday practice. Expect plenty of clinical pearls, honest reflections, and a few reminders that the real insight often comes from looking beyond the contact lens itself.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates should be able to:

Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, delegates should be able to:
- Recognise the broad range of situations where contact lenses can support patient care, from paediatric cases through to complex cases like those with severe dry eye or RCE's.
- Highlight some signs at contact lens aftercare appointments that may point to underlying ocular disease rather than a lens issue.
- Understand the key factors to consider when co-managing contact lens wearers before and after ocular surgery such as those with keratoconus preparing for cataract surgery.
- Take away lessons from real cases to strengthen clinical decision-making, avoid common pitfalls, and improve patient outcomes.
