Shaping the Future of Vision Care: SUNY College of Optometry
In the heart of New York City, the State University of New York (SUNY) College of Optometry stands as a global leader in optometric education, vision science research, and patient care. Founded over 50 years ago by a visionary group of optometrists and philanthropists, the College was built on a powerful mission focused on elevating the profession of optometry through educating future optometrists and vision scientists, advancing knowledge with cutting-edge research, and providing high-quality vision care to the community in an academic healthcare setting.
Since welcoming its first class in 1971, SUNY Optometry has grown into one of the world’s premier institutions dedicated to eye and vision health. Home to the University Eye Center—one of the largest outpatient vision care facilities in the United States— and three research centers, the College delivers vital services to the community while serving as a real-world training ground for future optometric leaders.
SUNY Optometry is not just an academic institution, it’s a dynamic hub where education, research, and service come together to improve lives. From pioneering breakthroughs in vision science to shaping compassionate, highly skilled professionals, the College continues to set the standard for what’s next in optometric care.
