BCLA UK hits two major cities

The British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) held its annual UK conference across two sites this month, allowing more people to take part.

For the first time, BCLA leaders organised a split-site conference across separate days in London and Birmingham, which included a series of workshops and discussions for attendees. Professor James Wolffsohn led a talk on the diagnosis and management of dry eye conditions and Dr Shehzad Naroo gave a lecture on delivering the concept of ocular surface happy to improve retention rates among contact lens patients. Dr Claire Hallas, a practitioner health psychologist, also appeared to look at whether parents say yes or no to their children wearing contact lenses.
