BABO announce 3 events in October 2021

The three events will be located in the Marriott Hotel at Heathrow and are as follows:

Saturday 2nd October – Monday 4th October OVT 3 – Vision and Learning Training Course

Ideally suited to optometrists with an interest in learning difficulties and with some experience of Behavioural Optometry. Prior attendance at OVT1 and OVT2 courses is essential, and attendance for all three days of this course is mandatory. This course brings together previous learning and its application to testing and therapy. The course covers basic theories of learning difficulties, the impact of visual problems on learning, testing, vision therapy and practice management.

Sunday 24th October – BABO’s 30th Annual Meeting

Open to members and non-members, you are invited to our jam packed day, with guest and member speakers. The event offers a great chance to network and share ideas and experiences. For those staying into the evening there will be a relaxed meal to round off the day.

Monday 25th October – Wednesday 27th October OVT4 – Strabismus and Amblyopia, Optometric Assessment and Treatment Training Course

Practical instruction of vision therapy techniques that integrate the theory with practice will be the heart of this course.
Lens prescribing will be discussed in detail and case histories will be used to illustrate the important principles for effective lens prescribing. The format of this seminar has been reviewed with greater emphasis on therapy and will be of interest to those that have taken the course before as well as those new to the subject.

Experienced participants will gain strong insights that allow them to meet the needs of their patients more effectively. This course is designed for the experienced BABO member who has studied OVT1, OVT2 & OVT3 and who has practised Optometric Vision Therapy with at least 50 patients. Those with less experience or studies should find the course fascinating, and useful, but should not expect to introduce this approach into their practice without considerable further studies in Behavioural Optometric Vision Therapy.

All events will be held at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel, Bath Road, Heathrow Airport, Hayes, UB3 5AN
