upon the NYJC to learn what is new in technology and
what is trending when it comes to style.

Las Vegas in October.
New Partnership
One of the highlights of this year’s event is the partnership
between International Vision Expo & Conference and
the British Contact Lens Association (BLCA) who have
entered into a multi-year, content exchange agreement
to create a two-day “Global Contact Lens Forum.”
The new partnership follows months of conversations
aimed at expanding and improving continuing education
offerings at their respective conferences.
The first program will be available at International
Vision Expo East in New York, March 26 and 27, 2014,
providing a platform for delivering the latest scientific
content and business strategies related to contact lenses.
The BCLA will host the second forum in Birmingham,
England in June.
