Please be aware that we are extending our 2019-2020 application cycle until at least April 30, 2020. This is to allow additional time for applicants to take their OATs and request updated transcripts from Colleges and Universities that may currently be closed.
Amid the chaos of the global coronavirus pandemic with self-distancing, business and school shutdowns and "shelter-in-place" announcements, one UH College of Optometry family is working hard to make the best of the situation, by being flexible, sharing responsibilities and helping others.
Easy Anyama, 25, has proven he can excel in any arena – whether it be a football field, optometry school or a highly competitive application process..
Anyama, a first-year student at the University of Houston College of Optometry, is one of only three students nationally to be selected for a prestigious summer internship with Essilor of America Inc., the leading manufacturer of optical lenses in the U.S. and a subsidiary of Paris-based Essilor International.
Muriel Martinez, O.D. ’13, FAAO, clinical assistant professor at the University of Houston College of Optometry, can add a new title to her long list of titles – “Ambassador of Optometry.”
In 2018, she was one of three doctors of optometry from around the country chosen to represent the “Optometry Gives Me Life” campaign run by the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry. Now, Martinez is gearing up to share her love and knowledge for her chosen career with high school students.
ASCO is participating in a Cue Career Live Stream panel and asked Martinez to be one of three panelists. This is a free event and 12 high schools from across the nation have signed up to participate in the live session. The panelists will share insights about optometry and answer questions.
Applications for admission from OptomCAS and the UHCO Supplemental Application will be accepted starting July 1st through March 30th prior to the fall semester in which the applicant expects to enter.
