120About Faculty
Welcome to the UAB School of Optometry, where we are preparing our students to be the nation’s leaders in providing comprehensive, evidence-based eye care and discovering new principles of vision science.
As one of the top optometry programs in the nation, we were the first in the U.S. to be fully integrated into an academic health center. As a result, small classes of no more than 55 students are embedded within the vast network of academic and clinical resources offered by UAB. Internationally recognized faculty in optometry, vision science and ophthalmology teach students within a state-of-the-art clinical practice, and students have opportunities to join them in research that leads to groundbreaking discoveries in vision science.
