May 2008 - DTCL make further production line investments
David Thomas Contact Lenses exhibited at the recent BCLA Clinical Conference & Exhibition at the Hilton Metropole in Birmingham. With the conference attracting record numbers of delegates and passing the one thousand figure, the company stand was busy at all times. Both UK and foreign delegates stopped by to discuss the latest products. UK delegates showed a lot of interest in the Paragon CRT corneal refractive therapy contact lens modality, particularly now that the company was offering practitioners a Ks and Rx Program fitting from empirical data. Backed up by the company holding inventory of all possible lens specifications for same day delivery, the product launch proved very successful. Foreign delegates seemed to want information about the expanded Rose K2 range of lenses for keratoconus and the irregular cornea. The company Sales Director, Graham Avery commented “The stand was nearly always busy and that in terms of numbers of delegates stopping to talk to company representatives, the conference was one of the best for several years.”
DTCL supports ICLS - July 2008
The Alexander Hotel in Dublin was the setting for the Irish Contact Lens Society AGM evening which was kindly sponsored by David Thomas Contact Lenses. After the AGM, Neil Cox BSc FCOptom, in private practice in London and also consultant to Kings College Hospital and Moorfield’s Hospital, gave a generic presentation on keratoconus and then showed applications where the Rose K2 range of lenses could be used. The evening was attended by a packed room of over 50 optometrists from all over Ireland and ended up with an interactive quiz on keratoconus fitting. With CET points now obligatory in the Republic, the three CET points on offer for the evening obviously helped to bring in a good crowd. Graham Avery, Sales Director of DTCL said “The meeting was very well attended for an evening event and I think most people attended went away very impressed by Neil’s presentation. It was evident that there was a lot of interest in RGP fitting in general and we hope will definitely be considering running similar events in Ireland”.
