Have you thought about continuing your studies to achieve the advanced contact lens diploma – and use the suffix FBDO (Hons) CL – but are unsure of just where and how to start?
ABDO College is introducing an Advanced Contact Lens Diploma Preparation Course to guide and support those interested in attaining the higher qualification.
The ABDO College Advanced CL Preparation Course will take place on 28 and 29 May 2014 at ABDO College in Kent. This will be followed by a series of distance learning projects to provide structured revision, in readiness for the winter 2014 examinations.
The sections of the examination are as follows:
A Toric lens fitting
B Presbyopia correction
C Remedial fitting, such as keratoconus, post refractive treatment and orthokeratology
D Current knowledge, to include materials, designs, care products and current practice
E Case records
The units may be attempted in any order within a three-year period but all units must be achieved within five years.
Full costs for the two days of tuition plus distance learning modules are £700 but there is generous sponsorship of £300 per delegate from Contamac and No 7 Contact Lenses for the first six delegates enrolled, so the cost to these delegates will be £400. Course information and application forms are available from Rachel Blazyca at ABDO College on 01227 733 921 or email her at rblazyca@abdocollege.org.uk.
