The Vision Care Institute, an affiliate of Johnson & Johnson Vision Care Inc., has announced that 100,000 eye care professionals attended courses throughout its network of 14 sites worldwide.

	Launched in 2004, the Vision Care Institute has evolved from one institute in the United States to sites across four continents. To date, there have been more than 4,000 courses taught by 256 faculty members in 30 languages to accommodate attendees from 56 countries.

	“Having 100,000 eye care professionals come through our doors is an incredible milestone that shows the importance placed on continuous learning,” said Ian Davies, head of global professional education for Johnson & Johnson Vision Care. “We have challenged ourselves to understand the diverse issues and concerns of practicing eye care professionals in both developing and developed markets so we can foster more confident and current vision care that will ultimately benefit patients.”
