Contact Lens Association of Ophthalmologists, Inc., (CLAO) has grown to become an important medical subspecialty association. CLAO is dedicated to providing ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals with leading edge information in contact lens and related vision science.
The primary objective of the CLAO / CLAO ERF Symposium and Congress is to provide a forum where the latest clinical and basic research in the field of contact lens and anterior segment ocular science may be presented.
To this end, the scope of the CLAO / CLAO ERF Symposium and Congress includes symposia on innovations on contact lens, dealing with the anterior segment of the eye.
Central to CLAO's mission is support for the office-based ophthalmologist, optometrist, and other contact lens professionals; and thus CLAO educational programs emphasize the practical as well as the theoretical side of contact lens science and vision correction. CLAO educational offerings are designed to aid professionals at all stages of their careers.
The 2012 CLAO/CLAO ERF Symposium and Congress program is supported in part by educational grants from the following companies.
