Continuing Your Optometric Education

Dear Colleague,

Our academic leaders deserve a great deal of credit for continuing to adapt their programs to help prepare you — our future colleagues — to pass the necessary exams, gain clinical experience and begin your practice career. As a result, the depth of knowledge in diagnosis and treatment you possess upon graduation is impressive and continues to be more so every year.

As your optometric colleagues working in the industry that supports our profession, we are proud to offer additional information, learning and guidance on behalf of our respective companies.

We sincerely hope that you will benefit from our making New OD possible as well as contributing by sharing your insight and experience as a student or new practitioner. While it’s through our support that New OD is possible, it’s through your active participation that optometry will continue to secure its position in the nation’s healthcare system.

Sincerely,
Howard & Walt
