Ophthalmology Interest Group

The Ophthalmology Interest Group was founded in 2005 by UIC medical students who wanted to have an outlet to learn more about ophthalmology through faculty and peers as well as reach out to the community through volunteer work in the field of vision. Vision Mission, the current group, focuses on vision screening for children.
