SUNY Optometry

Yesterday we celebrated Thank a Resident Day with a special luncheon honoring our incredible residents. 🎉

We’re grateful to both our residents and residency supervisors for the care, mentorship, and expertise you bring to our clinics and community every day.

For nine years, a pediatric patient tilted his head just to see clearly. No one knew why and over time, it began affecting how he moved and held his body.

During a specialized exam for children with special needs, one of our doctors noticed that one of the patient's eyes sat slightly higher than the other. A prism lens was prescribed and the change was immediate. The child straightened his head and could finally move comfortably.

“She’s the best. My son needed more than a typical eye exam, and the doctor and staff provided that. As a parent, seeing him finally walk without the tilt is everything.”

With Doctors’ Day approaching, take a moment to thank a doctor who’s made a difference or consider donating to help more patients like this get the care they deserve. 💙

🌨️ ❄️ Due to the impending inclement weather, SUNY Optometry will move to remote instruction and operations. All non-essential personnel should be prepared to work remotely. Essential personnel should report if requested by your supervisor.

The University Eye Center patient care activity will be suspended, Monday, 2/23 except for emergency care. Employees and students should monitor email for updates and details.

The countdown officially begins for the 52nd Commencement of the SUNY College of Optometry Class of 2026.

We are proud to celebrate the dedication, resilience, and achievements of our graduating class.

Mark your calendars! More details to come as we count down to this special day.

🔬 New research from SUNY College of Optometry, led by Dr. Jose-Manuel Alonso, suggests myopia (nearsightedness) may be influenced not just by screen time but by how children use their eyes indoors, especially in dim lighting.
