About SUNY College of Optometry:</b><p><br>
The State University of New York College of Optometry advances visual health and patient care through leadership in education, research and service. More than a half century ago a group of dedicated optometrists and benefactors came together to create an institution that would support optometric education, vision science research and extend quality vision care to all New Yorkers and the surrounding community. The State University of New York College of Optometry evolved from this mission. Since we opened our doors to our first class of students in 1971, the College has grown to become one of the leading optometric education and vision research centers in the world. The College houses the University Eye Center &mdash; one of the largest outpatient vision care clinics in the country&mdash;and engages in cutting edge research that is helping to shape the future of optometric care.</p></div>
