Our second-year optometry students are learning to prescribe glasses for people over the age of 45. To provide them with the experience of practicing on real patients we invite members of the Boston community to sit as practice patients.
Having community memebers sit as patients is an invaluable educational expereince for our students and a wonderful opportunity for the community to see our young optometry students in action.
Each practice patient will receive a $20.00 stipend per session (2 hours) for his or her help and time. Students WILL NOT be assessing ocular health with eye drops and will be supervised by an optometrist at all times. Please note that as students will be performing the exam we will not be able to offer a prescription for glasses at the end of the session.
