We’re thrilled to share the incredible success of the Association of Optometric Contact Lens Educators (AOCLE) meeting, held June 5-7 at the Southern California College of Optometry (SCCO) at Ketchum University in Fullerton, CA! Visionary Contact Lens was proud to be a first time sponsor of this outstanding event.
The meeting, themed “Collaborations in Cornea and Contact Lenses,” brought together educators from optometry schools across the entire country. The passion and excitement for advancements in eye care were palpable during our sponsorship presentation.
A huge round of applause goes to the exceptional hosting coordinators at SCCO: Erin Rueff, Elaine Chen, Erin Tomiyama, Lauren Zabaleta, Michael Wong, Heidi Wagner, and Anne Arah Cho. Their hard work ensured a seamless and impactful event. We also extend special recognition to the AOCLE Chair, Dawn Lam, for her leadership.
Attendees engaged in highly relevant and pertinent workshops, gaining valuable insights and fostering collaboration. We were particularly inspired by the insightful presentations from:
- Olivia Lee, MD, who spoke on “My Collaborations in Eye Care”
- Matthew Wade, MD, who discussed “Management of Iris Defects and Aphakia”
- Gloria Chiu, OD, who presented “Better Together: ODs and MDs Punting with Purpose”
The spirit of collaboration and shared dedication to advancing contact lens education truly made this AOCLE meeting a massive success. We’re already looking forward to next year!
