DULUTH, Ga.—CIBA Vision’s Academy for Eyecare Excellence has expanded the reach of its professional education programs with three new online learning modules, the company said.

“We continue to receive outstanding feedback from ECPs and staff members who are utilizing the Academy for Eyecare Excellence e-learning modules,” said Dwight Akerman, OD, FAAO and director of professional affairs & programs for CIBA Vision North America. “In fact, many ECPs have made these e-learning modules the cornerstone of their non-CE education as well as staff training activities,” he added.

According to a statement, more clinical content will be added over the next few months to include modules that cover corneal staining, contact lens induced dry eye and lens care. Additional business and management content will also be added and include patient communication strategies, business simulation exercises and guidance on how to maintain patient loyalty.

The modules, 16 in all, cover topics both advanced and basic from multifocal soft lens fitting to ocular anatomy and are separately designated for ECPs and staff members who request flexible learning, an announcement said. Each one takes approximately 40 minutes to complete, although the user may pause the program at any time, allowing them to complete the work in shorter increments. At the end of the module, the user takes an online test, which is scored instantly. After scoring is finished, the user can print out a certificate of completion.
