Fees for Faculty, Staff and Students
School of Optometry faculty should be exemplars of the results of receiving the best vision care. As a result, faculty, staff and students at UCBSO enjoy special discount privileges, which are secondary to any applicable vision care benefits, such as VSP coverage. These fees help offset the cost of staff, patient parking, patient records, examination room supplies, and equipment maintenance.
