Optometry Tomorrow Seeks Volunteers

The College of Optometrists’ Optometry Tomorrow conference is just a few weeks away, and this year it incorporates the British Contact Lens Association’s BCLA Focus, thus promising to be a bigger event than we’ve seen before. The conference takes place on April 28–29 at The Telford International Centre – you can find program and registration details here.

This year, the College is looking for volunteer patients to take part in the event’s clinical workshops. Volunteers will receive a £25 fee per one hour session and travel expenses will be refunded. Patients with one or more of the following conditions can apply:

• keratoconus
• keratoconus patients who are existing RGP corneal lens wearers
• concomitant squint (eg childhood eso/exotropia)
• angle closure
• a congential incomitancy (e.g., Duanes/Browns)
• an acquired incomitancy
• anterior eye pathology
• lid malposition, punctal stenosis, epiphora, ectropion, entropion, known nasolacrimal duct obstruction
• glaucoma
