“An excellent chance to come and get CET points and network with others we don’t see throughout the year” Kill 27 birds with one stone. Get up to 27 interactive CET points Delegate, 2016 in two days, from 60 industry-leading workshops, lectures and seminars. Sunday 22nd & Monday 23rd January 2017 Visitors Visitors Visitors Visitors Visitors Looking back at EYECARE 2016 Visitors This year’s Eyecare conference and exhibition was a roaring success thanks to high attendance levels and a positively received agenda. Held at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow on 17th and 18th January, the event saw strong attendance from more than 300 visitors and nearly 200 exhibitors on 62 different stands. The Eyecare conference and exhibition boasted a packed schedule of clinical lectures and workshops, as well as the largest gathering of suppliers to the optical industry outside London and Birmingham. With 27 interactive CET points available, across 58 lectures and workshops, it was certainly a busy couple of days for delegates who came from across the UK. Based on feedback we tried out a new format this year - with more workshops and an extended 2-hour lunch, which proved a huge success. The feedback from delegates on Eyecare 2016 was overwhelmingly positive with 98% of delegates rating the event overall as excellent or good. And our skills workshops, discussion workshops and seminars covered an equally diverse range of subjects, including glaucoma assessment and managing blepharitis.

Networking and exhibitors The exhibition space proved a great place for comparing products and making new contacts for delegates. The latest tools and equipment were on show, and it was an excellent opportunity for attendees to find out about new products coming to market. Amongst other exhibitors, we were joined by Johnson & Johnson, Xeyex, Topcon, Birmingham Optical and Scope Opthalmics. In the evening, delegates had the chance to let their hair down and mingle in the Riverside Suite of the Hilton, whilst enjoying music and an optical themed quiz.
