Alcon announces comprehensive training program for the Alcon Experience Academy 2024
Alcon is once again pleased to announce a comprehensive training program for opticians in Germany, Austria and Switzerland for 2024. This includes both face-to-face seminars in Alcon's professionally equipped training centers as well as digital training options for targeted in-depth study of a specific topic or for refreshing knowledge.
"Building on a strong foundation that we have created together with Heike Hädrich, we look forward to continuing our mission in the field of ophthalmic optics and optometry. The combination of deepening practical expertise and clinical knowledge directly in practical units in the seminar is an important success factor," said Björn Siewert, Professional Education & Development Manager at Alcon DACH. "In 2024, in addition to our renowned seminars focusing on the professional fitting of soft spherical, toric and multifocal contact lenses, we will also address dry eye management. The option of digital training in the form of web seminars is an important component of this."

Thanks to Heike Hädrich
After more than 30 years in the industry and more than 20 years at Alcon, Heike Hädrich, an expert in the fields of ophthalmic optics and optometry, retired from Alcon's operational training program at the beginning of this year. She has played a decisive role in shaping the world of ophthalmic optics over this long period and can look back on a multitude of successes. These include a wide range of innovations in professional training and continuing education, from the creation of local face-to-face seminars to digital training options for the targeted consolidation of an individual topic or for refreshing knowledge. The lecturer roundtables, which took place during opti, are also particularly worth mentioning. Here, lecturers and professors specializing in contact lenses from Germany, Austria and Switzerland had the opportunity to exchange expertise and were also able to gain inspiration beyond the field of ophthalmic optics through varied specialist presentations. Alcon would like to take this opportunity to thank Heike Hädrich for her excellent cooperation, her great and tireless commitment, her extensive expertise and her passionate enthusiasm for brilliant vision. "We wish Heike all the best and good health in this new phase of her life!"
