Delegates to the four-day conference, from May 24-27, will be able to attend workshops and clinical presentations for CET points while the free exhibition (from May 25-27) gives optical professionals the opportunity to catch up with all the important players in the UK contact lens industry.
As ever the highlight on the social side is the gala dinner, scheduled for the Saturday night, with the theme of ‘Wild, Wild, West’ set to inspire some elaborate fancy dress costumes.
The conference will cover a variety of subjects, from the latest research in myopia control to presbyopia management and how to set up a dry eye clinic. Full details can be found at www.bcla.org.uk. Meanwhile here is a stand-by-stand run through of the companies showcasing technological developments and products in the exhibition.

Adaro Direct is a new contact lens management service for optical retailers in the UK and Europe.

Advanced Eyecare Research 27
The application of artificial tears can provide relief from the symptoms of dry eye and improve the comfort and safety of contact lens wearers. Wet Therapy is a new preservative-free long lasting tear supplement for corneal protection and is supplied in a unit dose. Wet Therapy contains two hygroscopic polymers, sodium hyaluronate and polyethylene glycol. The addition of PEG 400 to hyaluronic acid increases the water retention and tear film residence time. Wet Therapy is part of the Regard range of preservative-free solutions and has been tested with all types of contact lenses and may be used by both contact and non-contact lens wearers. Samples of Wet Therapy are available.
