CIBA offers four paths to CL excellence

CIBA Vision has introduced the Academy for Eyecare Excellence to provide clinical and business support for the optical community.

Part of a global initiative launched in the US in February, the Academy programme is tailored to UK practice and offers support in four areas of contact lens practice.

The Professional Academy covers clinical topics and encompasses the company's Specialist Club. The Business Academy offers education on practice management and includes a management business academy (MBA) programme. Two further sections provide learning resources for support staff and for students.

A faculty of 20 UK and overseas authorities in contact lenses will oversee the initiative. The focal point of the Academy is a new website (www.cibavisionacademy.co.uk).
