The Association of Optometric Contact Lens Educators (AOCLE) has, as its major objective, enhanced communications between all the faculty involved in all aspects of the contact lens (CL) curriculum in the Schools and Colleges of Optometry in North America.
Educators and industry representatives have opportunities to share the latest information in the contact lens field via an annual workshop and newsletters. The AOCLE also offers awards to invite new educators to attend their first AOCLE workshop.
Numerous resources are available in the contact lens field. Some are tools that can be useful when working with students and patients, and others are links to organizations, companies and journals.
