Call for free papers and posters

The Education Committee of the Global Specialty Lens Symposium (GSLS) invites the submission of abstracts for the presentation of Free Papers and Posters to be held January 7-10, 2026 at the Paris Las Vegas. The committee seeks topics including new and innovative concepts, clinical cases and research on all aspects of contact lenses (such as materials, designs, lens care, etc.) in addition to related topics such as corneal and ocular surface disease, diagnosis and treatment approaches, and practice management. Contributions can be submitted as either a free paper (short presentation), as poster – or as both. In addition to the free paper session, a select number of posters shall be chosen to be presented in a ‘Rapid Fire’ session at the conference, where authors can present their work (clinical or research) from the podium as a summary and to urge participants to visit their poster and the poster session in general.
Please note that the deadline for submissions is early this year (Sept 15th).
