Optometry ACADEMIC Dr. Chester H. Pheiffer UH Claims Only College of This Type in Southwest Only college of its kind in the Southwest, the College of Optometry was opened in 1952 as the direct result of a request from the Texas Optometric Association. Training students in the knowledge and skills used in the practice of optometry, providing an understanding of basic facts in the field of visual science and cultivating an appreciation of and respect for the social and professional obligations of optometry are the objectives of the College. A two-year pre-professional program includes the general course requirements for a bachelor's degree, as well as basic science subjects. The three-year professional program provides theoretical and practical knowledge needed for general practice. The fourth year offers opportunity to develop proficiency in one or more optometric specialties. Ten fully equipped examining rooms, an optical dispensary and prescription laboratory, an orthoptics and visual training section, and facilities for studying pathological conditions of the eyes and fitting contact lenses and subnormal vision aids arc available in the clinic. Bachelor of Science, Certificate in Optometry and Doctor of Optometry degrees are offered. DRAM—Chester H. Pheiffer received his A.B. from the University of Louisville, M.A. and Ph.D. from Ohio State and O.D. from Southern College of Optometry. 28
