Bill Harvey: So much to answer for

As this issue reaches you, the 2019 BCLA conference will be well under way in Manchester. As I have alluded to before, this home-grown event is internationally respected and something UK practitioners should be rightfully proud of and one we should all support.

Of the many highlights on offer, my eye was drawn to the several sessions concerning myopia control, with some major big-hitters chairing sessions; Jeffrey Walline, Pauline Cho and Nicola Logan to name but three. There is also the Irving Fatt Memorial Lecture, this year given by antipodean Dr Nicole Carnt. She will be discussing Acanthamoeba keratitis, an area she researched when based at Moorfields in recent years.
