Earlier this year, ABDO College, in conjunction with Canterbury Christ Church University, broadcast their first webinar. The subject was ‘Public Eye Health’ and the session was led by Professor Darren Shickle. In his talk, Shickle described the epidemiology of visual impairment and some developments in eye health services and policy. He also presented some of his research findings on why people do not attend for eye examinations. He proposed some issues for further debate including rethinking recommendations for frequency of eye examinations and separation of examinations from the dispensing of glasses and lenses.
