Pre-Optometry Club

"A Doctor of Optometry, or optometrist, is an independent health-care professional who is specifically educated, clinically trained, and licensed to examine, diagnose and treat conditions or impairments of the eye and human vision system."

Our group is dedicated to providing support to undergraduate students who are considering a career in Optometry. We also provide direction to those interested in exploring the profession, and those applying to optometry schools.

Calendar of Events Check back often. We appreciate your interest.
