Residency Description:

This 12 month program is a cooperative endeavor between the Lighthouse International of NYC and the College. It is designed to provide the individual with advanced and concentrated clinical and didactic experience in all aspects of low vision rehabilitation. Residents will also be involved in both coordination and consultation of patient care with other rehabilitation, medical, and social services. Additional responsibilities will include participation in research, the preparation of a publishable paper, and the development of an understanding of the management of a low vision service and the political and social forces influencing the mode of care delivery. Individuals who complete the program are expected to be able to deliver a high level of clinical care, serve as teachers in optometric institutions, and serve in a leadership role in optometric and service agencies and organizations involved in low vision care.
