NECO Students Learn at the Vision Development Conference

As an optometry student, you will have many opportunities to engage with professional associations and learn from clinicians who are practicing in specialty areas. One such area is vision therapy, or vision development. Students interested in this area can join NECO’s chapter of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (COVD) group. This group is connected with the larger international non-profit association of optometrists, optometry students, and vision therapists. Each year, COVD hosts a summit meeting and conference for practitioners to present their research and gives the opportunity for everyone in the field to come together and learn about the latest advances in vision development.
