College of Optometrists opens its doors

The College of Optometrist welcomed over 450 visitors for the annual Open House London event earlier this month.

Visitors came from places including Dublin, Portugal, Taiwan, China and the USA to look around its headquarters and museum.

New this year, the College hosted a talk led by PhD student Gemma Almond, entitled ‘The “Spectacle of Vision Aids: Architecture and the Cartes des Visite’.

Almond said: ‘I really enjoyed my time at the Open House event and it was great to have a large, and engaged, audience for each of my talks. The feedback was positive and it was a fantastic opportunity to share some of my work.’
