BCLA announces 2025 conference dates

The British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) will hold its 2025 clinical conference and exhibition at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham from 5-7 June.

BCLA chief executive, Luke Stevens-Burt, said: “This meeting will deliver the latest innovation and clinical insight, with world class speakers on all areas of contact lenses and ocular surface health. It promises to be a brilliant three days of learning, networking and celebrating, featuring a host of passionate speakers who can inspire eyecare professionals to make a real difference to patients’ lives and ensure we are ‘always learning’.

“We’re delighted to be staging this event in Birmingham – a modern multi-cultural city at the beating heart of Britain. We will be welcoming visitors from around the world, and we look forward to them exploring our second city and the wider area.”

The event will consist of hands-on skill workshops, group discussions, peer review, interactive sessions and lectures – along with BCLA Fellowship presentations and professional awards.

Clinical sessions will encompass contact lens fitting and management, independent prescribing with a particular emphasis on anterior eye diseases, updates on Tear Film and Ocular Surface and International Myopia Institute global consensus reports, and recent changes in practice patterns in optometry, anterior eye and contact lenses.
