At the end of the webinar, the attendee will have a better understanding of the process of emmetropisation and prescription of glasses in children in various age groups, with different refractive errors and also with associated ocular conditions like strabismus, retinopathy of prematurity and cerebral visual impairment.
A few case scenarios will be discussed which clinicians can implement in their daily practice along with the updated AAPOS guidelines. We will discuss in brief on accommodative lag and the importance of dynamic retinoscopy to prescribe bifocals as well.
