The Consortium of Student Run Free Eye Clinics depends on creating a community for clinics interested in providing vision care in resource-limited settings. Apart from engaging in collective research projects and developing a compilation of best practices, we would also like to highlight the humanistic contributions of eye care, and invite medical and optometry students, residents, fellows, and faculty practitioners to document their experiences with providing eye care.
