The date for a new teleoptometry-focused conference has been released by the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA).
A statement from the BCLA said that BCLA Vision would be held online on Sunday, November 7 and would cover how to integrate teleoptometry into an optical business.
‘We have carefully curated a programme featuring the very latest research, with a focus on the innovation and technology available to us today that we should not ignore,’ said BCLA chief executive Luke Stevens-Burt.
The BCLA said the event would feature a number of keynote speakers, including the BCLA Medal address to be delivered by Professor James Wolffsohn and the Pioneers lecture. It added that a live lecture stream would include sessions on tele-optometry in anterior eye practice, technology that has been accelerated due to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Other sessions included a look at the business of contact lenses and dry eye, exploring the secrets of making them profitable and suggesting business model options practices could employ.
Registration for BCLA Vision will open in early August. Full details are available on the BCLA’s website.
