Page 1 of 2 IACLE’s STRUCTURE
Industry sponsors, contact lens affiliations, and a strong network of educators support the IACLE Executive Board in developing and growing the contact lens educational infrastructure. IACLE's global educational structure is divided into 3 diverse regions: - Asia Pacific
- Europe/Africa-Middle East (EAME)
- Americas
IACLE, with it’s 3 Secretariats based in Sydney Australia, Bangalore India & Waterloo Canada, works across these regions and is driven by an Executive Board and supported by an Industry Advisory Board.
IACLE also employs a number of Regional and National Coordinators, who assist in running educational programs and working closely with educators in their respective countries. As can be expected, the educational infrastructure and contact lens market varies from one country to another. Therefore, IACLE Coordinators play a pivotal role in identifying educational needs for their region or country, and as a result have been instrumental in developing and driving programs. Once established, these programs are assessed, tailored accordingly and expanded on an international level to benefit other educators.
We understand that there are many countries where the contact lens market is growing rapidly and contact lens education must be improved quickly. Therefore, we have targeted active members to become voluntary Area Representatives. These key individuals assist IACLE in various activities, including targeting potential members and institutions, as well as providing guidance and support for others in their country.
