Bill Harvey: Living in the past

The recent CET article on vaccines (Optician 09.04.21) has finally received CET accreditation for optometrists only. It is now available to subscribers until the end of May. So, if you found it useful and wish to gain a CET point, you will find it at opticianonline.net with all of our other currently active CET.

The current CET accreditation scheme has generally proved to be robust, and where there is a disagreement, the right to appeal usually settles the matter. This was the case when, as mentioned previously in this column, a myopia CET was rejected on the grounds that ‘myopia is not an ocular disease.’ That was some years ago, and I doubt whether this would happen now.
