Ghana's Future Optometrists
In partnership with the Optical Foundation, a nonprofit increasing accessibility to eyecare in Ghana, CVI sponsored registration to the 2020 American Academy of Optometry virtual conference for more than 75 optometry students from Ghana.

The students, who were in their final year of study, had access to the complete schedule of online educational sessions offered at the two-week event.
Providing Education Travel Grants
