Empowering independent opticians with cutting-edge solutions for dry eye disease (DED).

SightCare, the trusted partner to independent optical practices in the UK, is delighted to announce an exclusive evening of education, insight and innovation as we host a dry eye roadshow, in partnership with Lumenis at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Plymouth, on 19 May at 6pm. 

As dry eye disease continues to rise, providing effective and sustainable treatments has never been more crucial.

The agenda includes: 

  • SightCare welcome presentation 
  • How OptiLIGHT works in my practice – real-world insights from a practitioner 
  • Hands-on, live demonstration of OptiLIGHT  
  • Practical advice on implementation, patient satisfaction and return on investment
