The crisis of the decreasing applicant pool took on major prominence
in 2019. In March, ASCO launched its public awareness campaign – Optometry Gives Me Life. The mission is to raise awareness of optometry as a career of choice among the best and brightest students, and to increase the diversity and quality of the applicant pool.
                                                                            Optometry Gives Me Life posters and brochures available. Contact Paige Pence at ppence@opted.org to receive materials free of charge.
