Applications are invited for the Cornea and Contact Lens Society Australia’s (CCLSA) 50th annual Research Awards.
Charles Di Natali, at that time a student at UNSW, was the first recipient of this highly recognised award for researchers in optometry and related fields.
Since then, CCLSA has presented awards totalling over AU$650,000 to more than 200 researchers, helping to enable awardees to pursue their optometric interests in pure and/or applied research and become leaders in the field.

The awards are named after Dorothy Carlborg, who was CEO of the CCLSA for nine years, during which time research formed a particular passion and focus for her.
“For the Dorothy Carlborg CCLSA research award program to now be in my name is of course an honour. I look forward to seeing how the award program continues to provide inspiration and to be able to personally acknowledge awardees having achieved exceptional outcomes,” Ms Carlborg said in a statement.
