Being able to see clearly is an ability that not everyone has naturally and that many take for granted.
Vision specialists and technicians who design, verify and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other ophthalmic appliances to correct eyesight are able to help those with bad vision experience the world more clearly.
In order to encourage students to pursue their passion in Ophthalmic professions such as Opticianry, Contact Lens Examiners and Technical Practitioner, the James Michael Morris Family Scholarship will support students of any education level as they work to provide quality eye care and correction instruments.
Students of any educational level are eligible to apply if they are pursuing a career in Ophthalmic professions such as Opticians, Contact Lens Examiners and Technical Practitioners.
To apply, write about how you plan to make a positive impact through your career in Ophthalmic Support Services.
