EssilorLuxottica will contribute $300,000 to the American Academy of Optometry Foundation (AAOF). The contribution will help support optometrists pursuing their PhD in a vision science field.

Recognizing the current demand and need to teach the next generation of optometrists and researchers, the AAOF’s OD/PhD Program encourages ODs to pursue a PhD in a vision science field such as physiological optics, biomedical sciences, public health, or neuroscience.
