Optometry Night
Optometry night 2018 took place on March 23rd at 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm in Room 220 of LMX! We had an optometrist come in and share with us their knowledge of eye care health. We had the fortunate opportunity to learn more about pursing a career in the eye care field, including any possible challenges and how a career in vision science can be rewarding.
