Student Review

This was an amazing site! I had a wonderful time working and learning here. I not only enhanced my critical-thinking skills but also my efficiency in conducting a full comprehensive exam. This site provided a productive learning environment for me to improve from my mistakes. Dr. Lau was not only passionate about teaching, but he also gave us the independence to make our own clinical decisions. He made sure that almost every exam could have a teachable moment. I also spent a lot of time learning how to troubleshoot, fit, and order specialty contact lenses. I am now more comfortable with managing patients wearing standard soft lenses, ortho-k, and scleral lenses. The staff were also very friendly yet professional which made the whole experience even more seamless.
