AAOMC Student Fund: Investing in the Next Generation of Myopia Care

The AAOMC Student Fund was established to support the next generation of optometrists who are eager to learn, grow, and lead in the field of myopia management.  Through this fund, students gain access to travel grants, scholarships, and opportunities to engage directly with leaders in orthokeratology and myopia control at Vision by Design and other Academy initiatives. The goal is simple: to make high-quality education and professional connection accessible to aspiring optometrist interested in advancing patient care.
