Dr. Vitek, one of the instructors for this class, says, “This group of students has been outstanding both in terms of effort and skill level . . . they have been a pleasure to work with, both here at Salus and in Austria. I wish them the best as they move forward in their careers and am proud to have them represent the University and the optometric profession.”
