(PRESS RELEASE) WASHINGTON, DC — More than a dozen eye care community leaders have been named as Contact Lens Institute 2022 Visionaries. The diverse group represents a range of practice settings, research interests, specializations, and educational pursuits, with members based in cities and towns across the United States.

Every Contact Lens Institute Visionary has committed to helping raise awareness of contact lens prescribing benefits, as well as encouraging healthy wear and care habits. Selected in part for their ability to connect with professional peers, they will participate in initiatives that promote best practices, tools, data, and clinical and practice management insights through the Contact Lens Institute’s The EASY Way program and See Tomorrow research.

2022 Visionaries include:

  • Nathan Bonilla-Warford, OD, FCOVD, FAAO, FIAOMC, Bright Eyes Family Vision Care
  • Melanie Denton, OD, Salisbury Eyecare & Eyewear
  • Darryl Glover, OD, Black EyeCare Perspective

Earlier this year, the Contact Lens Institute announced an expansion of The EASY Way (Eyes, Awareness, Safety and You) program to promote healthy contact lens wear and care habits. The year-round initiative provides the eye care community with simplified tips, attention-grabbing infographics, and companion digital resources for use in practices, all available from EASYWayProgram.org.

On Thursday, March 3, four of the 2022 Visionaries will present “Making Contact Lens Compliance Stick: EASY Insights, Tips & Tools from Visionary Eye Care Pros.” Live sessions, including participant Q&A, will be offered at both 6:30 pm EST and 6:30 pm PST. Registration is available for the earlier session here and the later session here.

In the coming months, the Contact Lens Institute will share details regarding new components of its See Tomorrow initiative. The program debuted last summer with custom-fielded data about how pandemic-influenced consumer attitudes and behaviors were affecting purchasing preferences, lifestyle choices, and patient care.
