More CL education than you can stand
I found myself in need of CEC's on contacts at the end of this year. I went to clsa.info. Found that we we now have "The Contact Lens University" on line with more courses than you can even remember on line, most of them free if you are a CLSA member and quite reasonable if you are not.
Ended up finishing at 3:00 A. M. on Dec. 31, but at least I don't have to take those silly certification tests again. Every time if forget and take the test over, I find it has been so simplified and dumbed down it almost makes me cry. It seems that today's optician needs to be more of a supply clerk than skilled technician at least according to the powers that be.
I do highly recommend clsa.info as a source of CL education. I have resolved to take a course a month if not one a week just for GP.
