Volunteer

Our volunteers are very important to us – without them our research would not be possible.

Each year, we run 20-30 clinical studies for the global ophthalmic industry and need volunteers on a regular basis. We’re especially interested in hearing from adult contact lens wearers, but sometimes we need children, teens, spectacle wearers or people that require no vision correction.

Our studies are individually designed and the commitment required from our volunteers is variable. Some studies require just one short visit to our clinic, while others may run for over a year and require multiple visits. Some may simply ask volunteers to wear a new contact lens as they go about their regular routines, while others may require them to perform specific vision tasks or tests while in clinic with us.
