BCLA to hold event every two years

Contact lens organisation the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) has moved its clinical conference and exhibition to a biennial schedule and three-day format from 2015.

The BCLA said the switch had come as the result of listening to the views of members and partners and after an internal financial review earlier this year.

‘As well as adhering to the wishes of our members and industry partners, going biennial will allow the BCLA to realise a number of important strategic goals – including meeting the more specific and local needs of all the membership categories to support the prescribing of contact lenses and anterior eye management,’ said BLCA chief executive officer Cheryl Donnelly.
