In preparation for the launch of the New IACLE Contact Lens Course (ICLC) – which is available exclusively to IACLE members and will be completed in early 2016 – we have changed the way we denote IACLE membership. From 2015, ‘active’ members describes those who are fully paid up by the end of the calendar year. Other KPIs are also affected by this change.
From 2016, we are increasing our efforts to grow our membership and our reach, using access to exclusive resources and programs such as the New ICLC as an incentive.
