BCLA Asia registrations are officially open

Registration is now open for BCLA Asia, giving delegates the chance to take part in a range of hands-on workshops and discover the latest research and technological advances.

Taking place on 13-14 September 2016 at the Cordis Langham Place Hotel in Hong Kong, BCLA Asia will include sessions for up to 400 people detailing clinical guidance on topics such as myopia control, dry eye management and presbyopia.

The event, titled “Correction for the Future”, is a partnership between the BCLA and the Hong Kong Cornea and Contact Lens Society. It will offer expert advice on business, research and presentation skills as well as an exhibition enabling delegates to try out the latest products and future strategies and innovations from sponsors including CooperVision, Johnson & Johnson and Bausch + Lomb. 

HKCCLS president Helen Eng said: “BCLA Asia is part of our mission to promote quality eye and contact lens care by providing our members with updated resources and support to better serve the community. 

“We look forward to seeing a wide range of submissions for the conference and to having the opportunity to showcase the work of up-and-coming stars in the contact lens field.”

Delegates at BCLA Asia will be able to apply for and complete a BCLA Fellowship, an indicator of esteem in the field held by over 150 top professionals across the globe.

BCLA chief executive Cheryl Donnelly said: “The conference is designed to showcase world class clinically relevant research and to nurture new researchers, clinicians and young academics to present at this level. It provides a perfect opportunity to hear the latest research including that from the talented researchers in Asia.”
