The GP Lens Institute proudly hosted the Cornea and Contact Lens Resident Symposium (CCLRS) and Specialty Contact Lens Symposium (SCLS) as Parallel Symposia, August 5–9, at the New England College of Optometry (NECO) in Boston.

This year, 64 cornea and contact lens residents, fellows, and rising stars joined us for an inspiring weekend of education, collaboration, and connection. We are incredibly grateful to our generous hosts at NECO for their hospitality, preparation, and support in making this year’s event such a success.

The GPLI CCLRS and SCLS are truly a labor of love, made possible by an extraordinary community of individuals who share a passion for education, mentorship, and the specialty contact lens profession. We hope every attendee left feeling inspired, connected, and part of the GPLI family. We look forward to building on this year’s momentum as we continue to grow, serve, and advance the specialty contact lens profession.
