We Want to Meet with You
Eye Recommend is dedicated to the future of optometry. Our team regularly visits optometry schools in Canada and the U.S. to connect with the next generation of independent optometrists.
We’ve visited from coast to coast and north to south, connecting with Canadian students like yourself at schools like the University of Waterloo, Michigan College of Optometry, Midwestern University, Illinois College of Optometry, and more.
At each university, we host information sessions, dinners, discussions, and exciting networking opportunities (like mini golf).
See where we’re heading next and RSVP to join.
