The Campaign for Optometry

The vision to serve

Today, the majority of blindness is preventable or curable, and treatment for macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in seniors, is on the horizon. Yet there is a tremendous need for eye care among our underserved communities, particularly children and the elderly. Berkeley’s School of Optometry has long defined excellence in optometric education. Our Doctor of Optometry program is renowned for its close integration of curriculum and clinical application. At the same time, the school consistently advances vision science with an impressive array of faculty whose innovative teaching and research keep Berkeley’s Optometry School at the forefront of its peers.
