Welcome to Cathedral Academy
Cathedral Academy is dedicated to empowering Optometrists with the latest knowledge and expertise across all aspects of Ophthalmology.
Through a series of face-to-face CPD events held across Ireland, we bring together a diverse range of topics, delivered by our experienced Ophthalmic Surgeons.
Staying current in a fast-moving field takes more than reading — it takes practice, discussion and direct access to expertise. That’s why Cathedral Academy sessions combine interactive lectures, webinars, wetlab events and peer discussions, giving Optometrists a genuinely practical route to developing their skills.
Places on each event are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis, so early booking is recommended.
