OptomSoc

Who are we?
UNSW Optometry & Vision Science Society (OptomSoc) is a student body led by enthusiastic and dedicated optometry students, from year one to final year. All Optometry and Vision Science students become automatic OptomSoc members.
Our goals are:
- to provide a solid means for managing academic issues
- to provide opportunities for cross-grade networking
- to allow students to engage and become acquainted with employment opportunities, through liaison with external organisations
- to assist in student awareness and knowledge of optometric related organisations.
We are led by six dedicated final year students but consist of numerous leaders and team workers including year representatives from each grade.
Throughout the year we provide a number of social events, a unified means of liaising with academia, and continually search for new ways to provide for our students in terms of networking, education, and professionalism.
Our activities and initiatives are only possible with the support of generous sponsorship, and we’d like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsors for their continued interest and contribution to UNSW Student Optometry & Vision Science Society.
