“It is with your support that the SUNY College of Optometry remains vibrant and strong and uniquely positioned to lead optometric education into the future.”

As SUNY College of Optometry moves into its sixth decade, we recognize that the evolving environment for optometry is vastly different from any time in our history. Our revised Strategic Plan, which will guide us through 2025, will ensure that the College remains a leader in optometric education, research, and patient care by embracing our role in shaping the future of eye and vision care. The College has both the opportunity and the responsibility to lead the optometric profession as an integral partner within the health care delivery system. As you will see from the pages of this report, the College has embraced this important obligation. We have been working hard to establish and build upon collaborative relationships—across disciplines—that will enrich our efforts to educate our students, expand care across communities, and enhance our ability to engage in transformative research. These vital collaborations, as well as the ones that we will

build and nurture in the years ahead, will enable us to shape, through our graduates, the very future of healthcare itself. Further, we are committed to being a leader in ensuring that the optometric profession is as diverse as the communities that we serve. And while we have much more work to do, I am proud of the progress that we have made in the critical effort of building a more diverse and inclusive community. It is with your support that the SUNY College of Optometry remains vibrant and strong and uniquely positioned to lead optometric education into the future. Thank you for your partnership and your belief in our mission.

LEADING THE PROFESSION

Leveraging five decades of advancing eye and vision care, SUNY College of Optometry sees value in collaboration, diversity, and innovation. Forging a Future of Collaboration & Diversity

To be a leader in optometric education and vision research means that it is not enough to simply train the next generation of eye and vision care professionals; rather one must be the example, setting the standards to which others aspire. Through the development of an innovative curriculum, the establishment of diverse clinical care environments, and the advancement of research and discovery, SUNY College of Optometry is helping set the course for a profession increasingly in demand and providing critical services within the health care delivery system. The College’s recent achievements demonstrate a commitment to embracing the more complex and interdisciplinary focus within healthcare. These efforts position the College at the forefront of the profession, and include, among others, a partnership with SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University School of Public Health, strategic initiatives to enhance the optometric workforce upstate, supporting new faculty as they advance their careers, delivering the training required by the Orals Bill, and expanding the number of NYC H+H sites. Affiliations such as these provide students and residents with invaluable and diverse learning environments, open new avenues for research, promote job opportunities, as well as provide access to much needed care to underserved communities. Improving diversity, equity, and inclusion across the profession is integrated into each goal within the College’s updated Strategic Plan, from enhanced training for faculty and staff and an annual Race in Optometry webinar, to more than a decade of concentrated recruitment

programs through the state-supported CSTEP program and more recently Eye-CARE Camp. Further, the Diversity and Inclusion Masterplan 2.0 brings forward the resolute commitment to ensuring the optometric

profession reflects the diversity of the communities served. This momentum was

set by the collection of business leaders, educators, optometrists, and donors who founded SUNY College of Optometry, establishing a commitment to advancing optometric education and the profession long beyond its 50-year history. Today, more than 3,500 students and residents have graduated from the College’s highly regarded programs, helping thousands of people across the globe each year.

Continuing to advance the optometric workforce, SUNY Forging the Future

Optometry is engaging in a new collaboration with SUNY Upstate Medical University.

EDUCATION

Every Opportunity for Building Success

Top students, with some of the highest OAT scores, from around the country and beyond, seek out SUNY College of Optometry.

Its location in the heart of Manhattan, the immensely diverse experience caring for patients at the renowned University Eye Center, and the forward-thinking curriculum at the College positions graduates for success. The number of matriculated Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program (CSTEP) students at SUNY Optometry has grown steadily over the last decade, reaching a record number of acceptances in 2022. This dramatic increase demonstrates the importance of continuing to invest in historically underrepresented students. With support from funders, CSTEP students at SUNY Optometry become part of a cohort, SUNY-Irises, now over 60 students strong, who receive mentorship throughout their journey at the College. Exemplifying innovative academic initiative, the expansion of the College’s Microcredential Programs offers students advanced academic, clinical, and professional opportunities beyond the Doctor of Optometry (OD) curriculum. Focused specialty areas include cornea and contact lenses, glaucoma, low vision-ocular disease, pediatrics, and vision rehabilitation. Students accepted into the program examine a subspecialty through strategically tailored learning experiences, while also receiving small group faculty mentorship. Since beginning two years ago, 64 students have completed or are currently enrolled in the five Microcredential Programs. Beyond the curriculum and clinical experience, students are encouraged to be active in the campus community by participating in student clubs and organizations, demonstrating their knowledge at conferences with presentations,

posters, and other activities, and even developing innovative ideas to share with industry. In 2022, more students than ever before were recognized for their leadership and contribution to the profession. From being named the National Optometric Student Association (NOSA) Chapter of the Year to gaining recognition through the SUNY system for a commitment to student safety; to a record number of presentations at the American Academy of Optometry Annual Meeting to achieving second place in the Student Bowl and having two out of the three winners of the ABBOptical 2022 Optometry Student Challenge, students and residents at the College continuously demonstrate that they are ready to be future leaders in optometry. Each of these successes lead to opportunities for scholarships, travel grants, and other financial assistance which help students pursue their dreams while reducing stress over the cost of their education.

Forging the Future In 2023, SUNY Optometry will welcome several key faculty members, including Dr. Nicole Putnam, Dr. Arathy Kartha, and Dr. Michael Sullivan-Mee. Forging the Future

PATIENT CARE

From sight-saving to life-saving, comprehensive eye exams support the full healthcare system. Placing Priority on Patient Care

The University Eye Center (UEC) and a multitude of affiliated sites introduce students and residents to unique clinical cases and situations they may not see elsewhere. One recent example is the patient who came for an exam thinking they had eye issues, but was actually suffering from an intracranial bleed. A thorough evaluation, followed by swift identification, resulted in the patient receiving timely critical care that saved their life. Encounters such as these demonstrate the important role eye care professionals play in a complex healthcare system. A comprehensive eye exam may help detect more than 250 serious health concerns, including those that require co-management and interprofessional collaboration. Working alongside seasoned faculty members, students and residents learn to navigate these partnerships and the ever-changing healthcare landscape. Whether it is the more than 16,000 referral visits received each year; the expanding relationship with NYC Health + Hospitals, the largest public health system in the country; or forging interdisciplinary collaborations with partners like the Rebecca School for children with neurodevelopmental delays, the breadth of clinical experiences serves as a strong base for their future practice. Beyond providing exceptional eye care, optometrists and optometry practices also must be aware of the patient experience and the impact of social determinants of health. Serving a diverse patient population means accessing translation services, engaging with allied professions such as social workers, and understanding the importance of providing culturally-responsive care. Enhancements to the patient portal, an updated website, the addition

of interactive kiosks, along with expanded use of CryaCom translation services, further elevate the high-quality care provided at the UEC. With nearly 50% of the population predicted to be at risk for myopia by 2050, the newly dedicated Barbara Saltzman Center for Pediatric Eye Care is in the process of adding three new exam lanes specifically for myopia management to address the rising need. The recently built electrodiagnostic suite for the assessment of retinal and optic nerve pathologies ensures additional training opportunities for students and residents as developing technology and state-of-the-art equipment prove invaluable for delivering superb patient care.

RESEARCH

Transformational Vision Science Research is in our DNA

Enriching the student experience and elevating patient care. The full scope of SUNY Optometry’s research— basic, translational, and clinical—provides a dynamic platform to explore diverse areas of vision research enriching the student, faculty, and patient experience. The College’s rigorous research on gene expression in the eye to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms controlling eye growth and the development of myopia. In fact, this year, SUNY Optometry’s

research enterprise saw dramatic growth, placing the College among leading vision research institutions. In addition to the work that is taking place in the labs, the College’s Clinical Vision Research Center (CVRC), which oversees clinical trials and studies that impact the future of patient care, is in the process of being fully renovated and expanded. The more than 4,000 square foot future home is a result of the exponential growth realized in the CVRC since its launch in 2013. With over 90 studies and trials, the CVRC averages 20 studies per year, and currently has 10 ongoing trials. This provides students a rigorous intellectual platform for study and mentorship along with providing patients with leading-edge care, often at no cost.

and ongoing efforts, organized under the umbrella of the Graduate Center for Vision Research and conducted in the labs of top ranked faculty with the support of students in the MS and PhD programs, are designed to push the boundaries of vision science research and advance eye and vision care. The College is particularly efficient and strategic in how it conducts its research. Last year, SUNY Optometry was recognized as the most cost-effective research program of the 64-institution SUNY system by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York. Among all schools and colleges of optometry, the College continues to be among the top three institutions who receive funding, including support from industry through the Clinical Vision Research Center. Faculty and student researchers regularly break news with their work and earn important financial support for their efforts, including the ongoing brain mapping work of PhD student, Sohrab Najafian, under the coordination of Distinguished Professor Dr. Jose Manuel Alonso. Leveraging expertise, partnerships, and investments, faculty researchers earn prestigious grants for their work, including, most recently, a multimillion-dollar grant by the National Eye Institute for Dr. Stefanie Wohl’s research on regenerating retinal neurons to restore eyesight and Dr. David Troilo’s

2023 is the 10th anniversary of the Clinical Vision Research Center, which will celebrate with a new space and several new research grants on the horizon. Forging the Future
