Background

About Cian Gildea

Restoring sight through specialist contact lens fitting is my passion, from large diameter scleral lenses to Orthokeratology and everything in between. I completed my B.Sc in optometry at Dublin Institute of Technology. As a part of this degree programme I received one of two available scholarships to study at the University Of Houston College Of Optometry in Texas, USA. I also hold a B.Sc in Property Economics which was awarded by the Dublin Institute of Technology. I am a Fellow of the Association of Optometrists in Ireland (FAOI), a member of the Scleral Lens Education Society (SLS), a Fellow of the International Association of Contact Lens Educators (FIACLE), a member of the British Contact Lens Association (BCLA) and European Academy of Optometry and Optics (EAOO). I consult for Enterprise Ireland on commercialisation fund projects for various optometric, ophthalmologic and ocular products and devices.
