Free Contact Lens Course for all active Resource Centers

IACLE industry sponsors have always provided generous funding for development costs for the IACLE Contact Lens Course. Industry are now also prepared to supplement the production/distribution costs to make this renowned course more accessible to members. As you have agreed to act as the Resource Coordinator and have established an IACLE Resource Center, IACLE is able to provide your Institution with an industry sponsored set of Modules/CD-ROMs of the IACLE Contact Lens Course at no cost.

To register your interest in receiving the IACLE Contact Lens Course set for your Resource Center, notify your Regional/National IACLE office or the IACLE Secretariat and include the completed Resource Center Activity Report.

It is IACLE's objective to have all free modules sets presented to the Resource Coordinators by Industry sponsors. One way of providing for this is to arrange an Industry Seminar Visit at your Institution with the assistance of your Regional/National IACLE Coordinator.

On the day of the industry meeting, the Resource Coordinator and/or the Head of the School should give a tour of the school to the industry guests. This is a good opportunity for the educators to show the facilities, describe what the school needs, and discuss how the industry representatives can become involved (ie a supply of trial lenses or contact lens solutions, etc.) The industry representatives should be made aware of the IACLE Resource Center, and how much IACLE is helping to improve the quality of contact lens education at the institution. Many of the resources housed in IACLE Resource Centers have been donated by Industry. Please show them how IACLE members, other faculty, and students are benefiting from their generous donations.

During this industry day, the local IACLE industry representatives will be given the opportunity to present the free copy of the IACLE Contact Lens Course to the Resource Center Coordinator.

Please contact your Regional/National IACLE Coordinator for more information as to how you can arrange for an Industry Seminar Visit at your Institution.

Transferring the Responsibility of the Resource Coordinator

It is important to IACLE that all Resource Centers remain active. If for any reason, you are unable to continue in your role as Resource Coordinator at your institution, another IACLE member will need to be appointed. Please complete the 'Transferring the Responsibility of Resource Coordinator' and forward this form to your Regional/National IACLE office or the IACLE Secretariat.
