Expiration Date: December 31, 2018

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant should be able to:

1. Understand anisometropia and its effects on patients.
2. Learn how anisometropia, the need to depress the eyes to read in progressives, affects the way that a progressive delivers its power as the eye moves.
3. Know how the HOYA BHT solution works to manage anisometropia and how it improves the way that progressives work.

Course Description

This course teaches a new technology that manages the way that the two eyes work together in progressives. Called Binocular Harmonization Technology, it optimizes the design of both lenses, no matter the distance Rx, so that the eyes receive equal accommodative support. This is a product spotlight supported by an educational grant from HOYA Vision Care.

HOYA believes that this new technology addresses the anisometropic prescription with a binocular solution.
