Essilor has introduced new CET content on its E-Academy platform to provide registered eyecare practitioners (ECPs) extra opportunities to gain points across a wide range of competencies.
Essilor’s E-Academy is updated regularly with free educational content for all eyecare professionals including articles, videos and clinical case studies and hosts many hours of CET content covering numerous competencies and topics.
Dr Andy Hepworth, professional relations manager at Essilor, said: “The site launched in 2019 as part of Essilor’s ongoing commitment to ECPs and it’s been a pleasure to support registered practitioners with this wide range of approved content, for them to enjoy reading whilst gaining valuable CET points.
“This last year has been disruptive for the industry and it’s understandable that some ECPs may be slightly behind schedule in terms of CET points. That’s where we hope the E-Academy can really help with its rich tapestry of easily accessible education and training.”
One of the new modules is ‘Dementia and sight loss’, which focuses on the links between dementia and sight loss and how practitioners can help to give those affected suitable care, solutions, and a better quality of vision. Also new is ‘What is blue light?’. This module covers the topic of blue light in detail starting with what blue light actually is and how ECPs can differentiate between blue violet and blue turquoise light. It will explore how the term ‘blue light’ is fairly broad and does not necessarily pose a potential danger to vision and ocular health.
