“Race in Optometry” Webinars

As our country celebrates Juneteenth, we remain aware that we have not yet achieved the “Absolute Equality” that Union General Gordon Granger promised in his address in Galveston, Texas. This includes within our own profession of Optometry and Vision Science. To that end, the SUNY College of Optometry hosted a webinar series on Race in Optometry. Click to watch.
