BCLA Da Vinci Award
The BCLA Da Vinci Award recognises work or an idea from any member of the contact lens industry in its widest sense. It is given annually to the author of a completed project or practical contribution to the field of contact lenses and/or anterior eye.
It is intended that this Award should recognise work by those who are not established contact lens researchers; specifically, applicants should not have published more than five papers related to the field of contact lenses and/or anterior eye. Equally, the award may be given in recognition of a useful contribution by a member of staff within the contact lens-related manufacture and supply industry.
