BCLA webinar on dry eye and dropouts

Webinar presenter, Imke Jacobs

‘Don’t drop out: managing dry eye for contact lens success’ is the title of a British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) webinar to be held on 3 December from 7-8pm.

Open to all, with one CPD point available, the webinar will be presented by Imke Jacobs – an optometrist at Visser Contactlenzen in the Netherlands.

Imke specialises in fitting and managing medical contact lenses for complex clinical cases, whilst also working with cosmetic contact lenses within her practice.

Her passion lies in dry eye management, which she considers the foundation of successful contact lens fitting.

Imke said: “Whether you’re a practitioner looking to improve patient satisfaction or seeking to strengthen your confidence in dry eye therapy, this session offers clear frameworks and directly applicable strategies that make dry eye care both manageable and rewarding in everyday practice.

“Dry eye complaints are among the most common reasons for contact lens discomfort — yet with the right approach, they don’t have to lead to dropouts.

“In this practical session, we will share how to identify early signs of dryness, choose the right interventions, and guide patients towards lasting comfort and visual stability.

“Through real-life cases from my own contact lens practice, I will demonstrate how dry eye management forms the foundation for successful and comfortable lens wear,” added Imke.
