Alcon Launches "Alcon Experience Academy" App, Expanding On-Demand Learning

Alcon announced the launch of the Alcon Experience Academy (AEA) app, which aims to help optimize eye care professionals’ (ECPs) digital learning experiences. The launch of the app brings AEA’s education and training resources to customers’ fingertips. The customizable global platform offers ECPs courses of varying levels in 17 languages, as well as newly launched podcasts and discussion forums on relevant eye care topics.

“We recognize ECPs increasingly rely on their mobile devices to get the information they need on the go,” Rustin Floyd, Global Director, Healthcare Practitioner Education and KOL Management, Alcon, said in a company news release. “With that in mind, there is no better way to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of our flagship AEA training program than by making the invaluable education it provides as accessible as possible.”

Alcon maintains nine Alcon Experience Centers globally, along with 26 training centers and 42 wet labs, providing access to comprehensive eye health education and hands-on experiential learning opportunities. Building on its offerings, Alcon recently introduced its Fidelis VR Ophthalmic Surgical Simulator, a portable tool designed to immerse cataract surgeons in a virtual, high-fidelity operating room, placing Alcon’s latest surgical innovations at a user’s fingertips, no matter their location.

The Alcon Experience Academy app can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. For more information about the Alcon Experience Academy’s online presence, visit AlconExperienceAcademy.com.
