17/7/2019 New IACLE Contact Lens Course – IACLE

New IACLE Contact Lens Course

The IACLE Contact Lens Course (ICLC) is the
longest established, most popular and most
important of IACLE’s teaching resources, and is
used by its members in educational institutions worldwide.

As of 2015 the course has been fully revised and updated by the world’s leading
authorities in contact lenses, to keep pace with developments in the contact lens eld.

The New ICLC covers all aspects of contact lens education – from the anatomy of the
cornea to the business of contact lens practice – in just six modules and 33 lectures in
PowerPoint format. It provides educators with the materials needed to teach a high-
quality contact lens course, and is also suitable for students and practitioners.

This course is available exclusively to members and is free of charge. If you would
like access to the course and qualify to join IACLE, please apply for membership.

What our members say about the New ICLC…

“Trying to keep abreast of new developments in such a rapidly changing eld

as contact lenses is very tough. Many textbooks are out of date almost as
soon as they are published, and trying to nd one resource that covers all the
essentials is almost impossible. The New IACLE Contact Lens Course is a
‘one-stop shop’ that covers every relevant aspect of modern contact lens
practice in a thorough, easily readable manner. I highly recommend it to
students and experienced practitioners looking for an up-to-date and
comprehensive resource on contact lenses.”
