Certificate in Advanced Contact Lenses
Developed to meet the needs of practising optometrists, the Certificate in Advanced Contact Lenses (ACO-CACL) is designed to enhance your understanding of contact lens practice and enable you to increase your competency through theory and the development of appropriate skills.
An expert team of presenters will deliver lectures on a range of topics including rigid gas permeable, orthokeratology, mini-scleral, prosthetic, keratoconic and post-graft lens fitting. The course offers a flexible remote learning structure ideal for rural or remote optometrists and those balancing work and other commitments.
Our courses are open to optometry graduates from Australia, New Zealand and internationally.
Course enquiries from overseas applicants or optometrists with limited registration are welcome and should be directed to [email protected].
It is recommended that all candidates have a minimum of six months general practice experience prior to commencing the course.
