Scientific Symposium: Silicone Hydrogel Lenses - Ten Years Later

May 4-5, 2012
Riverside Hotel
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

A unique scientific symposium entitled “ Silicone Hydrogel Lenses – Ten Year Later” sponsored by the Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists, Inc^®  (CLAO^®) and CLAO's peer-reviewed Journal, Eye & Contact Lens (ECL), will be held at the Riverside Hotel, Fort Lauderdale, Florida on Friday and Saturday May 4-5, 2012, just prior to the AVRO Meeting.  The purpose of this Symposium is to review the developments in silicone lenses over the past decade and to present cutting edge research in the field. 

Internationally renowned contact lens researchers from around the world have been invited to participate in this special event.  Each expert presenter will be submitting a paper to ECL based on their presentation at the Symposium and on their area of expertise within the subject.  After the peer-review process, these papers will be published in an issue of ECL.  This issue compilation will serve as the most current and comprehensive stand-alone reference on this important subject of silicone hydrogel contact lenses. This educational project is made possible through an unrestricted educational grant to CLAO from Vistakon, Johnson and Johnson Vision Care, Inc. (JJVCI).
