View from the BCLA: Myopia in the spotlight

If you were in any doubt about the biggest talking point in optometry right now, a glance at September’s events diary should make it clear.

The subject of myopia management features prominently three major events aimed at optometry professionals this month.

Many of the profession’s most respected opinion leaders are passionate about myopia management (or myopia control depending on your preference) and several of them are coming to the UK this month.

Aston University is hosting a Myopia Management Day on Wednesday, September 13. Experts including Kate Gifford, Jan Roelof Polling, Gillian Bruce and Katie Harrop will lead discussion groups before a round table discussion featuring representatives from the AOP, the College of Optometrists, the General Optical Council and industry.
