BCLA to offer dry eye certificate

A CET-accredited course on dry eye has been created by the BCLA.

Launching in October, the programme will focus on clinical skills for ocular surface health, working towards a dry eye certificate on completion of the course.

The programme, free for BCLA members, will be available to BCLA members from October 2017 and needs to be renewed every four years.

BCLA chief executive Cheryl Donnelly said: ‘We are confident this course will help guide practitioners to improve their skills in managing the dry eye and managing ocular surface health whilst ensuring the retention of contact lens patients in practice and minimise drop outs due to discomfort.
