Led by Dr Olivia Hunt, postgraduate researcher at Aston University in Birmingham, the project will involve undergraduates who will be randomly assigned to receive extra tuition in three areas of contact lens practice: slit-lamp and topography instrumentation, soft lens fitting and rigid lens fitting.Tuition will be in the form of either extra study notes, web-based virtual environment or small group workshops.

The year-long project will also assess the relative merits of three of the most common forms of continuing education and training for qualified practitioners: live lectures, workshops, CD-based lectures and journal articles with multiple-choice questions.

This part of the project includes a hands-on anterior eye imaging seminar and workshop, to be presented by Dr Hunt and Dr James Wolffsohn in London on Thursday September 14.

Dr Olivia Hunt, who is Principal Clinician added: 'Just one of the reasons that I enjoy working with Lizzie is that nothing is ever too much trouble for the patients, which sets an excellent example to the final year students.
