This is an online webinar which discusses counterfeit contact lenses and self-fitting. The webinar will focus on counterfeit corrective lenses and not cosmetic lenses. Self-fitting is the process whereby people who have never worn contact lenses before order lenses for themselves online and teach themselves how to apply and remove the lenses. All of this is done without any input from an eyecare professional. This session is CPD accredited with ref C-102779*.
*Please note - CPD points are available to BCLA Members only. BCLA Members will receive a CPD certificate via email within 10 days of the webinar taking place. If you wish to become a BCLA Member, please click here to view membership options.
