INDUSTRY SEMINAR

What are IACLE Industry Seminars?
Local IACLE Industry sponsors are invited to visit institutions to provide product updates and promotional materials to educators and students

The way to ensure that graduating practitioners have information about the products available to them and are skilled and comfortable fitting lenses and recommending care regimes is for them to participate in IACLE Industry Seminars.

IACLE facilitates the organization of Industry Seminars whereby Industry representatives are invited to visit institutions to meet with, and make presentations to the faculty and students. This is an opportunity for Industry to provide product specific lectures and present the students with information and promotional material.

Follow up visits to hold workshops can also be arranged with IACLE members. These hands-on sessions allow the Industry representative to offer the students more in-depth exposure to their products and to further develop their relationship with the institution and the students – next year’s practitioners.

Students confident in CL fitting = CL market growth

“…this type of seminar strengthens ties between industry and the school.
Our students are benefiting from this activity.”
(IACLE member)

Do you teach contact lenses and want to increase CL exposure for your students?

Through conducting IACLE Industry Seminars, your students will gain:

• Up-to-date knowledge of available CL products

• CL marketing practice information

• Practical experience with CL products on the market.


…Additional Outcomes:

• Students/new practitioners more confident to fit and recommend CLs to their patients

• A student who uses a certain contact lens type/product in their clinic while studying will be more likely to use those same lenses/products when they go out into practice

• Relationship building between educational institutions and local Industry representatives

• Industry supportive of CL clinics at educational institutions (i.e. providing trial lenses, solutions, etc)

• Ongoing Seminars and updates
