Travel Grant Award Program
As a dedicated supporter of optometric education and to encourage students and emerging OD’s with an interest in specialty contact lenses, Art Optical, in partnership with Contamac, provides travel grants to help offset the cost of attendance at specialty contact lens meetings and educational events. The Travel Grant Program is open to third and fourth year Optometry students, as well as Optometric residents and new OD’s with less than 3 years of professional experience. To be considered for a travel grant, applicants can present a case study, technical article, scientific poster, etc. and submit the application and related requirements. Art Optical’s technical team will review all submissions and select winners based on the relevance of the topic to current or future trends in specialty lens fitting, practice, or research.
