Contact lens course clarification

An article in the April issue of Dispensing Optics, ‘Extended training for CLOs’, incorrectly stated: ‘At present, the ABDO College course is the only recognised CLO [contact lens optician] course that provides the learning objectives in line with the requirements to go on to train to deliver MECS [minor eye conditions services] and GRM [glaucoma repeat measures] as negotiated by ABDO”.

However, Bradford College also teaches Contact Lens Certificate courses, which provide the required education, following completion of the ABDO contact lens examinations, to go on to train to deliver MECS and GRM as negotiated by ABDO.

Our apologies to readers for any confusion caused by this oversight.
