Our Community Platform

In its goal to make eyecare accessible through education, research, and comprehensive eye exams, The Optical Foundation has developed a social community platform for young optometrists and aspiring vision-science researchers to connect and find opportunities across the world. Through this app platform, The Optical Foundation Community, allows users to learn about academic, industry, and clinical career opportunities as well as build lifelong optometry and vision science connections and relationships.

The app provides a global community where you can post information, share know-hows, share experiences, and connect worldwide. Think of this as a mix of the best parts of MS Teams, Slack, Facebook, and Linkedin. So why this app? This app enables the community to have guidelines and standards of conduct. It’s safe, reliable, and trustworthy. Within this safe environment, we encourage the community to post and share information, videos, and experiences.

The app is easy and fun to use. Together, we can create new opportunities for all of us using the The Optical Foundation Community App!
