BCLA Myopia Management Certificate

The BCLA Myopia Management certificate focuses on clinical skills and evidence practice in myopia management, allowing BCLA Members to gain CPD points while working towards a certificate. Over time this certification could lead to a BCLA Fellowship in myopia control.

The course can be achieved by any optometrist or contact lens optician who is a full member of the BCLA. The course is free for full members to complete, including access to all course materials and additional resources. 

If you are not a full member of the BCLA and would like to complete this course, you can  join the BCLA online. Alternatively, you can join or upgrade your existing membership subscription by contacting [email protected]
