Panel addresses UK's stunted CL potential

Practitioners need to talk to patients more about eyewear options, keep up to date with the latest technology developments and make products easily available if penetration of contact lenses into the market is to be improved.

These were among the opinions voiced during a lively debate at the second Question Time held at The Vision Care Institute (TVCI) hosted by Johnson & Johnson last week.

Chairing the debate was TV anchor John Suchet who took questions from the floor and an online audience for the panellists.

On the panel were Dr Philip Morgan, director of Eurolens, Boots Opticians' professional services director David Cartwright, David Mitchell, head of pharmacy at J&J and Nick Atkins, founder of Independents Day.
