BCLA Neil Retallic: Growth and regulations of contact lenses

Podcast Talking Optics hosts British Contact Lens Association president Neil Retallic to share pandemic challenges, myopia management growth and regulation on sales of contact lenses over the internet

This episode of Talking Optics is brought to you in association with ASDA Opticians.

 

BCLA president Neil Retallic and Optician editor Simon Jones discuss about how the BCLA responded to range of issues in the contact lense sector.

We opened our first Optical department in ASDA in 2000, since then we have grown to have 156 practices in all 4 nations of the UK.

We employ over 350 optometrists, dispensing opticians and contact lens opticians and over 1400 optical advisors. Our mission is to save our patients money, so they can live better by ensuring that we offer affordable and accessible eye care services and products without compromising on quality, care or service.

Our unique single pricing structure means that your patients get everything they clinically need included in the price, whether that be high index lenses, varifocals, tints. anti-reflective or scratch resistant coatings. This means that you can focus on what you do best, looking after your patients, ensuring they have the right vision solution for them and they don’t have to worry about hidden costs.

Our extended opening hours also mean that it is not only convenient for our patients to fit around their busy lifestyles but also means we can offer flexible working arrangements for our colleagues too.
