Certificate in the Fundamentals of Contact Lenses
The Certificate in the Fundamentals of Contact Lenses focuses on clinical skills and evidence-based practice in contact lenses, using some of the original BCLA CLEAR™ papers as a basis. This allows BCLA Members to gain CPD points while working towards a certificate and can also count towards BCLA Fellowship.
Who is this Certificate aimed at?
The certificate is aimed at any optometrist or contact lens optician who is a full member of the BCLA and who wishes to make sure that they are up-to-date with the current evidence base in contact lenses and anterior eye; thereby helping to ensure that you are giving the best service you can to your contact lens patients. The course is inclusive of your BCLA Membership and includes access to all course materials and additional resources.
If you are not a full member of the BCLA and would like to complete this course, you can join the BCLA online. Alternatively, you can join the BCLA online or upgrade your existing membership subscription by contacting [email protected].
