COMIB at the 15th Assottica Conference: advancing CL Education and Research

Fabrizio Zeri and other speakers during a round table the Assottica 2024 conferenceWith more than 800 delegates gathered for its 15th edition titled “Change the View” the Assottica Conference has firmly established itself as one of the most attended global meetings on contact lenses. Dr. Fabrizio Zeri from COMIB presented a talk on ocular surface and tear film aging and the evolution of contact lens materials, co-presented with Prof. Stefano Barabino from the Ocular Surface Centre at Sacco Hospital, University of Milan.

Dr. Zeri also chaired a round table organized in collaboration with IACLE, which provided Italian contact lens students the opportunity to join a live-streamed discussion on contact lens education and clinical practice alongside three Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs): Prof. Lyndon Jones (Director of CORE at the University of Waterloo, Canada), Dr. Sarah Morgan (FAOO, FBCLA), and Dr. Alberto Recchioni (Researcher at University Hospitals Birmingham).

Additionally, Dr. Zeri and Dr. Byki Huntjens, both IACLE Directors, hosted an informal breakfast for Italian contact lens educators. This gathering offered an opportunity to discuss IACLE resources for students and future developments in contact lens education. The conversation began with recent changes in Italian education, including the launch of a new Postgraduate Degree in Optometry at the University of Milano-Bicocca, which has the potential to expand academic training in the field of contact lenses.
