SCO’S SUCCESS

In 2022, SCO’s students benefited as patient care numbers returned to pre-pandemic normal, enhancing student education opportunities and clinical revenues. A Quality Enhancement Plan was developed to improve the quality of the contact lens experiences for third-year students.

As The Eye Center celebrated its 20th anniversary, investments were made into renovating sections of the facility. A new Pediatric and Teen Optical Boutique was constructed, with a new Clinical Patient Care Flow & Referral area created. The work is scheduled to be completed in 2023.

In 2023, The Eye Center will expand our Optometric Surgical Care to include a Service Area dedicated solely to the clinical education of future ODs in advanced primary care procedures. By their fourth year, interns will perform YAG Capsulotomies and other procedures under the direct supervision of medical physicians.

VOYCE® Systems translation services were made operational. This real-time video conferencing technology, available in virtually any language, provides interpretative services to patients who need them.
