BCLA to host European day

Bringing together speakers from four European countries, the British Contact Lens Association’s first ever European day will take place in London on February 9.

The special CET conference will examine similarities and differences across European markets. Chaired by Dr Philip Morgan, director of Eurolens research at the University of Manchester, the conference will provide the latest information on daily disposables, orthokeratology, continuous wear and presbyopia.

Explaining what the BCLA hopes to achieve through the conference, Morgan said: ‘We know that the contact lens markets around Europe vary significantly both in terms of the penetration of lenses into the population and the types of contact lenses prescribed, but we don’t understand very well why this is.’
