Attendees are looking forward to the programme
Excitement is building as the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) and the College of Optometrists join forces for the much-anticipated Optometry Tomorrow now incorporating BCLA Focus, scheduled to take place in Telford on April 28 and 29, 2024.
This groundbreaking collaboration marks a significant milestone in the field of optometry, promising attendees an unparalleled educational experience and networking opportunities. At the heart of the conference are its cutting-edge clinical workshops and educational sessions.
With an array of topics covering everything from presbyopic contact lens fitting techniques to the latest developments in myopia management, attendees can expect an immersive learning experience that caters to professionals at all stages of their careers.
One of the highlights of this year’s conference will be a lecture series based on the hugely anticipated BCLA CLEAR Presbyopia reports. Delivered by key researchers involved in the reports, these lectures are shaping up to be one of the most insightful sessions of the weekend.
One of the core offerings of this year’s conference is the emphasis on hands-on workshops, something the BCLA is well known for; interactive sessions such as Conan Tam’s and Sarah Farrant’s ‘Hands on with Dry Eye’ workshop will provide attendees with an opportunity to refine their clinical skills under guidance.
From mastering specialty lens designs with scleral and ortho-k fitting to decision-making in myopia management, delegates will gain practical insights that they can immediately apply in their practice.
The weekend will feature an impressive lineup of keynote speakers who are luminaries in the field of contact lens practice and anterior eye. These thought leaders will share their expertise and vision for the future of eye care, offering invaluable insights into emerging trends and technologies shaping the industry.
In addition to the educational offerings, the conference will provide a platform for networking and collaboration. Delegates will have the chance to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and forge partnerships, whether it is during the coffee breaks or evening receptions, the conference fosters a vibrant atmosphere conducive to meaningful interactions and knowledge sharing.
Furthermore, this meeting is not just about the science – it is also about celebrating the passion and dedication of eye care professionals. The conference serves as a reminder of the profound impact that optometrists, contact lens opticians and dispensing opticians have on the lives of their patients.
With its commitment to cutting-edge clinical workshops and education, the conference remains a vital resource for those seeking to stay at the forefront of their field. As the countdown to April 28 and 29 begins, anticipation mounts for what promises to be an unforgettable experience in Telford.
