Luxottica Eye Care in partnership with OneSight announces the names of students selected to be part of this year’s student clinics. On clinic, OD students will work under the supervision of Luxottica Retail affiliated doctors performing comprehensive eye exams. Students will also help support a core team of Luxottica volunteers in the frame fitting, manufacturing and dispensing of new eyewear. For the OD students selected, Luxottica Retail will cover expenses associated with the clinic, including air fare, accommodations and meals.
