The post-pandemic path

Online video conferencing is something we all came to rely on in 2020 and the ebb and flow of Covid-19 restrictions meant the technology was used for Alcon’s annual Alconversation panel discussion event, which looked to reflect on an extraordinary year for the eye care sector and how it might look in the future.

The event was chaired by Richard Edwards, professional adviser to the Optical Consumer Complaints Service (OCCS) and featured a panel comprising: Lesley Longstone, chief executive and registrar at the General Optical Council; Daniel Hardiman-McCartney, clinical adviser for the College of Optometrists, Max Halford, clinical lead for the Association of British Dispensing Opticians and Association of Optometrists clinical director, Dr Peter Hampson.
