History
In 1951, the General Assembly of the State of Indiana established a program in optometry at Indiana University. The first year of preoptometry courses was offered beginning in the fall semester of 195152, the first professional courses were offered in 195354, and the first Master of Optometry (M.Opt.) degrees were awarded in 1956. In recognition of the vital role of vision research, the graduate degree programs in physiological optics were early priorities (M.S., 1953; Ph.D., 1955). The program in optometry operated as a division of the university, with its degrees granted by the College of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School, until the 1975 76 school year, at which time it became a degree-granting school of the university. A continuous fund was created to support the establishment of the optometry program by adding a special fee to the annual license renewal fee of each practicing optometrist in Indiana. Additional funds and gifts, including a substantial collection of library books, were contributed through the auspices of the Indiana Optometric Association. As a permanent endowment program, the Optometry School Trust Fund was created as a division of the Indiana University Foundation for the general purpose of receiving and accepting gifts, bequests, pledges of money, etc., for the benefit of the optometric work to be carried on at Indiana University. The building for the Division of Optometry and the Program in Physiological Optics was completed in 1967. This six-story, limestone-faced building is located on East Atwater Avenue and provides space for classrooms, laboratories, offices, student resource center, and supporting research and development activities. In 1992, the School of Optometry opened the Indianapolis Eye Care Center (IECC) in a newly constructed building at 501 Indiana Avenue in Indianapolis. Offering an expanded scope of patient care services, the IECC is located near the campus of Indiana UniversityPurdue University Indianapolis. Fourth-year optometry students receive additional clinical training through external rotations at locations such as Veterans Administration facilities, Indian Health Service clinics, military hospitals, and referral centers. In 1971, in cooperation with the then-existing Division of General and Technical Studies of Indiana University, the School of Optometry established a two-year program for the preparation of optometric technicians. In 1980, the Indiana University School of Optometry established a twoyear program for the training of opticians. In 1987, the School of Optometry combined the optician and technician programs into one. In 2013 a certificate program was initiated for the Optician/Technician program. In 1995, a portion of the clinic in the Optometry Building was dedicated as the Borish Center for Ophthalmic Research. The centers mission is to abet and develop clinical and applied research support and to facilitate investigations in visual disorders, ocular pathologies, and systemic diseases that affect the eye and its adnexa. The Borish Center provides an arena for the development of clinical researchers in vision and for the training of graduate students, residents, and fellows.

Mission, Vision, and Goals

The mission of the School of Optometry is to protect, advance and promote the vision, eye care and health of people worldwide by: Preparing individuals for careers in optometry, the ophthalmic industry and vision science; and Advancing knowledge through teaching, research and service.

requirements and satisfactory completion of the four-year professional curriculum. The specific requirements are described in the section of this bulletin entitled Doctor of Optometry Degree. Holders of this degree are eligible to apply for examinations for licensure by the Indiana Optometry Board or by corresponding agencies in other states. Optician/Technician Certificate (School of Optometry) The School of Optometry offers a two-semester 29 credit hour certificate program in Optometric Technology/ Opticianry. Students completing the certificate program are qualified to begin careers as optometric technicians or opticians. With additional course work, the certificate can lead to the Associate of Science degree in Optometric Technology/Opticianry. Students may also combine the certificate or A.S. degree credits toward a four-year degree in other schools or departments. Associate of Science in Optometric Technology/ Opticianry (A.S.) (School of Optometry) The School of Optometry offers a two-year Associate of Science degree in Optometric Technology/Opticianry. The Optician/Technician Program that leads to this degree is open to high school graduates as well as those with some college experience. Students completing the program will be qualified to work as optometric technicians and/or opticians, or may choose to pursue related careers as laboratory opticians, optical managers, contact lens technicians, or ophthalmic sales and service representatives. Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy (M.S., Ph.D.) (University Graduate School) Offered by the University Graduate School in conjunction with the School of Optometry, the two degree programs in vision science are designed primarily for those who wish to devote themselves to teaching and research in the field of vision. Combined Degree Programs Indiana Universitys Vision Science Program has a proud tradition of training more than 50 doctoral graduates and nearly 100 masters graduates who have gone on to productive academic or clinical careers. Many have held prestigious leadership positions in academia and national and/or international research organizations. Because of the increasing cost of higher education, it has become difficult for optometry graduates to pursue M.S. or Ph.D. degrees after completing optometry training. The Indiana University School of Optometry has developed combined degree programs in conjunction with the University Graduate School to allow students to work toward an M.S. or Ph.D. simultaneously with the O.D. degree. The two combined degree programs are designed to attract students interested in careers devoted to the creation of new knowledge in clinical and/or academic optometry. A number of financial support mechanisms are available. Application for Degrees The School of Optometry awards A.S., B.S., and O.D. degrees in May, June, August, and December. Candidates for these degrees should submit degree applications to the Office of Student Administration of the School of Optometry at least two months in advance of anticipated graduation. Candidates for the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees should consult the University Graduate School Bulletin.

This will be accomplished through the Doctor of Optometry, Optician/Technician, residency and graduate programs. Our vision is to achieve an integrated vision science and clinical training academic program that is a leader in translating discovery to patient care through teaching, research and service. This vision reinforces the Indiana University School of Optometry commitment to advancing and communicating knowledge of Optometry and Vision Science for the benefit of the state, the nation and the world. The 2010-2015 goals of the School of Optometry focus on four areas: Create an environment that fosters excellence Advance optometric and vision science teaching Expand patient care resources and clinical training. Maintain high quality applicants to IUSO OD program.

course will be given only for reasons of serious illness or significant extenuating circumstances. The desire to avoid a low grade is not an acceptable reason for withdrawal from a course. If a student withdraws with the deans consent, the grade in the course will be W if the student is passing at the time of withdrawal. If the student is not passing at the time of withdrawal, the grade will be an F. The grade will be recorded on the date of withdrawal. It should also be understood that withdrawal from a course will break the sequencing of courses and result in adding a year to the four year Doctor of Optometry program. When considering withdrawal from a course, a student should first consult with the Director of Student Administration or the Associate Dean of Students; who, in consultation with the faculty member, will take the students request to the Dean. If permission is granted, the Office of Student Administration will withdraw the student from the course. Addition of Courses No course may be added by students after the first two weeks of a semester or first week of a summer session or half semester unless the instructor of the course petitions that an exception be made and the request is approved by the dean. Grades The quality of a students work is indicated by the following grades and numerical values: A+ (4.00), A (4.00), A (3.70) High degree of academic performance B+ (3.30), B (3.00), B (2.70) Above-average achievement C+ (2.30), C (2.00), C (1.70) Average achievement Any grade lower than a C in any course in the professional (O.D.) curriculum must be repeated. D+ (1.30), D (1.00), D (0.70) Passing work but below desired standards FFailure in a course or failure to complete a course without an authorized withdrawal. When a failing grade is recorded in an optometry course, the instructor(s) may require specific remedial procedures to be taken by the student before readmission to the course. The FX option is not accepted by the School of Optometry. Retaking and passing a failed course will, therefore, not remove the original grade of F from the students record. WWithdrawn. Given automatically when the student, with the approval of the academic advisor and the dean, officially withdraws during the first eight weeks of a semester, first four weeks of a half-semester course, or first two weeks of a summer session. After these deadlines, the grade W is given in the instance of an approved and properly executed withdrawal only if the student is passing at the time of withdrawal. RDeferred Grade. Given when the grade determination will be deferred until completion of two or more terms of study, as with research or thesis courses. Also given either at the end of the first term of a two-term course or midway through a single course that overlaps two terms, when the course has been identified as one for a deferred grade in the Schedule of Classes. At the end of the final term in the sequence, the entry or entries R will be replaced with standard letter grades. Instructors will designate the standard grades on the rosters for the final term or by means of a form for removal of deferred grades. IIncomplete. May be given only when the work of the course is substantially completed and when the students work is of passing quality. When an Incomplete

Academic Regulations
Semester Load A student is not permitted to enroll in fewer than 12 credit hours during a fall or spring semester except with special permission from the dean. Withdrawal from Individual Courses Students must take the courses listed for the appropriate program semester. Any variation in their program is only with the permission of the Dean. Permission to drop a

is assigned, a record will be maintained in the Office of Student Administration of the School of Optometry. The record will include a statement of the reason for recording the Incomplete and an adequate guide for its removal, with a suggested final grade in the event of the departure or extended absence of the instructor from the campus. A student must complete work required to have the Incomplete removed within one calendar year from the date of its recording, although the dean may authorize adjustment of this period in exceptional circumstances. An Incomplete that still stands after one calendar year is replaced by a grade of F. Once a student has graduated, nothing in these regulations will prohibit the Incomplete from remaining on the record. A student repeating a course must register for the course a second time. If any course to be repeated is a prerequisite to another course, the other course may not be taken until the prerequisite course is satisfactorily repeated. Clinic Grades Fourth-year rotation grades become official at the time of submission by the rotation preceptor. (Note: Grades for rotations ending mid-semester will be considered official prior to completion of the academic semester and online posting.) Academic standing will be assessed upon receipt of grades from the rotation preceptor at the completion of each fourth-year rotation. Absences from Scheduled Classes Illness is usually the only acceptable excuse for absence from class. Other absences must be explained to the satisfaction of the instructor, who will decide whether omitted work may be made up. The names of students who are excessively absent are to be reported by their instructors to the dean. Absences from Final Examinations A student who fails to attend the final examination of a course and who has a passing grade up to that time may be given a grade of Incomplete if the absence is explained to the instructors satisfaction. A missed final examination for which there is no satisfactory excuse will be assigned a grade of F. When called upon, the Academic Review Committee of the School of Optometry will assist an instructor in weighing an excuse concerning absence from a final examination.

average is below a 2.5. Continuation in the program requires approval by the Academic Review Committee. Course Repeat A course grade of C- or below is considered to be unacceptable and the course must be repeated. If a student does receive an unacceptable grade requiring that the course be repeated the following year, the student must restart that semester the following year and repeat all courses for that semester in which a grade of C+ or below was received. Academic Review Students on probation will be evaluated by the Academic Review Committee to determine whether they can continue in the program. In many cases, the Academic Review Committee will make recommendations about help and remedial work that will make it possible for the student to achieve better academic performance. In some cases probation could result in dismissal. Clinical Competence At the end of the second year, students are required to pass a competency examination in preparation for the course V 680 Introduction to Clinic. A student who fails the competency examination must complete remediation and take the examination again. If the student fails any part of the competency twice, the student will not receive a passing grade for the course, will not be permitted to enter clinic and must repeat V 654. A student who does not ultimately pass the competency exam will be ineligible to continue. Remediation If a student receives a grade of less than a C in any thirdor fourth-year clinic rotation, the student must enroll in and complete with a grade of C or better V 780 Clinical Skills Enhancement (third-year clinic remediation) or V 880 Clinical Skills Enhancement (fourth-year clinic remediation) prior to continuation of the third- or fourthyear clinic rotation. A student who fails to complete V 780 or V 880 with a grade of C or better will be ineligible to continue. If an intern is unable to continue with a clinical rotation for academic, clinical performance reasons and/or professional misconduct, the grade of F will be assigned, and the intern will be ineligible to continue. Policies and procedures are explained in detail in the most recent Indiana University School of Optometry Eye Care Centers Student Orientation Manual (password required). In addition to possible dismissal following Academic Review, dismissal can occur if: the student earns lower than a 1.00 GPA for any semester, regardless of cumulative GPA the student earns both lower than a 2.50 GPA in a semester and a recommendation by the Academic Review Committee the student has failed to complete V780 or V880 with a grade of C or higher the student has failed the clinical competency examination two times and recommendation by the Academic Review Committee.

Academic Standing
The intent of the School of Optometry is that professional students be able to graduate after four years of instruction. In some cases, six years can be considered. Although primary responsibility rests with the student, the school will work to help all students maintain good academic standing and will seek out and attempt to provide remedial help for students who are having academic difficulties. Good Academic Standing The minimum standard for academic good standing is a semester and cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 2.50. Probation Academic probation results when any course grade is below a C, or if the semester or cululative grade point

Academic Misconduct Academic integrity is fundamental to the intellectual life of the university and to the education of each student. The following acts of academic dishonesty are prohibited: cheating, fabrication, plagiarism, interference, and facilitating academic dishonesty. Proven academic misconduct is grounds for dismissal. Honor Code In 2013 the IUSO faculty and students adopted an Honor Code. Annually, during incoming student Orientation, students will review and receive instruction on applying and adhering to the Honor Code. Professional Misconduct Maintaining standards of professional conduct is essential to the integrity of the profession. Professional misconduct is strictly prohibited. This includes dishonest conduct (including, but not limited to, false accusation of misconduct; forgery; alteration or misuse of any university document, record, or identification; and giving to a university official any information known to be false) and use or possession of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs on university property or during a university activity. In addition, fraud and patient endangerment and abandonment will be grounds for dismissal. Standards for patient care procedures and for professional behavior in a clinical setting are detailed in the most recent Indiana University School of Optometry Eye Care Centers Student Orientation Manual. Additional rules and regulations of the university are available in the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct published by Indiana University. It is each students responsibility to be aware of these regulations. Violation of the Code of Student Rights, Responsibilities, and Conduct may result in dismissal. Academic Fairness Committee The charge of the committee is to consider, arbitrate, and adjudicate grading disputes in cases of procedural errors and in cases where evaluation on nonacademic grounds is alleged. The Academic Fairness Committee is composed of three students and three faculty members, chosen by the dean of the School of Optometry. Issues dealing with substantive quality of the students academic performance and involving intrinsic, professional, academic judgments by a faculty member lie outside the Committees jurisdiction.

Graduate Program in Vision Science (MS, PhD)

Vision scientists study the eye and how we see as well as both the pathogenesis of visual dysfunction and the amelioration of visual disabilities. Vision science is multidisciplinary, and can include the study of biochemistry, biophysics, engineering, epidemiology, molecular biology, cell biology, neuroscience, optics, ophthalmology, optometry, pathology, physiology, psychology, statistics, and any other discipline that relates to the eye and its problems. Both the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees provide breadth through a variety of course offerings. The thesis based M.S. and Ph.D. degrees also add depth to the training of vision scientists through original research leading to a thesis or a dissertation.

More information on eligibility requirements, the application process, and specific financial aid programs can be found at studentcentral.indiana.edu. Borrowing Financing an optometric education can be a long-term investment if a student needs to borrow money. Students must understand the implications of receiving student loans, such as the obligation to repay them with interest once they obtain their degrees. There are several student loan programs available to doctoral optometric students: Federal Stafford Federal Perkins Loan Federal Health Professions Loan (students must provide parent data on the FAFSA to be considered for this loan) Federal PLUS Loan for graduate students

Admission
All applications must be made through the University Graduate School The degree requirements for admission are flexible in order to accommodate students who come to vision science from a variety of backgrounds. A bachelors degree (or equivalent) in science is required, and this should include course work appropriate to the area of vision science in which the student wishes to pursue an advanced degree. Detailed admission criteria are listed with the description of the degrees.

Degree Requirements
Non-thesis Master of Science Degree Admission Requirements The typical candidate for this program would be a practitioner who has an undergraduate degree in optometry or its equivalent and licensed or license eligible to practice optometry in their home country. GRE results will be required and in addition all non-native English speakers entering the program must have taken the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) within the last 5 years. Non-typical candidates can also be considered for

admission. However, they should first correspond with the Associate Dean of Graduate Programs before applying. Curriculum A total of 40 credit hours are required. Most of the courses will be based on the didactic courses in the School of Optometrys Doctorate of Optometry curriculum. Core courses will provide a breadth of background and also provide training in teaching methods, epidemiology, research design and writing and will be required to attend weekly research seminars. These core courses will add up to 15 credit hours. Electives totaling 25 credit hours will concentrate on one or two specialty areas in Optometry. Prior to registration for courses in the first semester the student will meet with the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs or a faculty mentor appointed by the Associate Dean to identify specialty areas, and to obtain advice on electives. Thesis-based Master of Science Degree Course Requirements A total of 30 credit hours is required, of which 15 credit hours must be didactic hours in vision science or approved substitutes. Students concurrently enrolled in the O.D. and MS program, may accelerate progress by receiving up to 4 graduate credit hours to this requirement of 15 didactic credit hours. Research Requirements Early in the program, students participate in a research project under the direction of a faculty advisor. The advisor is chosen by the student after consultation with the director of the graduate program. Research toward the thesis is guided by the advisor and a committee. After completion of the thesis, at least three members of the graduate faculty give it final approval. Doctor of Philosophy Degree Course Requirements A total of 90 credit hours is required, of which 30 must come from didactic courses with grades of B or higher. Students enrolled in the O.D. program, may apply up to 6 credit hours to this requirement of 30 didactic credit hours. Students having received the MS degree in Vision Science from Indiana Univeristy can apply those credits towards the Ph.D degree. When the grade point average of a student falls below 3.0, the student will be placed on academic probation. Each semester, students are required to register for and participate in the weekly Vision Science Seminar (V 765) known as Oxyopia. Participation implies that the seminar will be taken for credit and that students will make presentations. During the first year students will be required to take a Special Topics course in Vision Science (V768), and either Geometric and Visual Optics 1 (V 521) or Systems Approach to Biomedical Science (V 542). During the second semester students will Take Vision Science 1 (V 560) and either V 523 or V 543 as well as a special seminar (V 768). Students believing they have met these requirements may apply to the Associate Dean for Graduate Programs with an alternative program

Minor Requirements Students will select at least one minor subject in any relevant field of study, subject to approval by their advisory committee. The requirements for the minor are determined by the department or program offering the minor. A specialized inter-departmental minor is also possible, if approved by the University Graduate School before classes are taken. Vision Science Ph.D. Degree Requirements In order to ensure adequate progress toward the Ph.D. degree, all students must achieve the following milestones. Typically these should be met at the end of years 1, 2, and 3 of the program. In addition, students who are expected to teach must pass Test of English Proficiency for International Associate Instructor Candidates (TEPAIC). Advancement to Second-Year Exam At the end of the first year in the program each student must pass a written examination covering a wide selection of vision science topics in order to advance to the second year of the program. By this time, students should also have demonstrated an appropriate command of spoken and written English. Advancement to Third Year By the end of the second year all students should have identified the area of study and the specific experiments that will eventually constitute their Ph.D. thesis. This requirement will be met by submitting a formal abstract describing the proposed experiments to the Graduate Program coordinator. This abstract must be accompanied by written approval of the Ph.D. advisor. Advancement to Candidacy By the end of the third year, each student must complete a written and oral qualifying examination. These examinations are administered by the students advisory committee. The written component is the dissertation proposal, and can be in the form of a grant application. The requirement of 30 credit hours of didactic course work must be fulfilled before the qualifying examination. After successful completion of the qualifying exam, each student will be advanced to candidacy for the Ph.D. degree. Participation in the Ph.D. program will be terminated if a student fails the qualifying examination twice. The final milestone is completion of the dissertation. Completion of Dissertation After completion of the written dissertation, it is presented and defended at a scheduled seminar meeting. The dissertation must be approved by the students research committee. The student is responsible for submitting the final approved dissertation to the University Graduate School.

Career Information
Opticians fill eyewear prescriptions. Their training includes dispensing eye wear, selecting frames, taking facial measurements, and choosing the best lens style for the patient. They take the order written by the eye doctor, produce the lenses with the correct prescription, and shape the lenses to fit the frame. Optometric technicians must know how to take facial measurements and how to select and adjust frames. In addition, they learn business procedures and may be responsible for managing the doctors office. They work closely with the eye doctor as part of the eye care team. Their tasks include measuring visual acuity, color vision, depth perception, field of vision, and pressures within the eye. They assist in various contact lens procedures and also teach contact lens patients to insert, remove, and care for their contact lenses. Employment Most opticians and optometric technicians are employed in the optical industry or by optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists. Some are employed as managers of optical dispensaries or laboratories. Graduates of the Optician/ Technician Program may also work in an optical laboratory or for a lens, frame, contact lens, or instrument company. Placement The schools placement service is available online. Both opportunity providers and seekers can post their information directly to the Web via online forms. Providers or seekers can also search profiles/opportunities by geographic area. Positions listed are designed to support both students and alumni. This service is available at Career Planning & Placement section of the IUSO website. Currently, the demand for opticians and technicians is very high.

Certification
Optician Certification Graduates of the Optician/Technician Program may become certified in the opticianry field. The National Opticianry Competency Examination (NOCE) is spectaclerelated and given by the American Board of Opticianry (ABO).
