Early career optometrist take centre stage at Graduate Showcase
Optometry students and faculty, practising ACO Members and ACO staff gathered at ACO's Carlton headquarters on Tuesday 8th April to attend the 2025 Graduate Showcase event.
Four ACO graduate optometrists presented a single standout case study from their first year of practice, providing insight into the diagnosis, management, challenges and public health perspectives of each case.
We are blown away by the breadth of cases tackled by these early career optometrists. The standard of care provided, and the depth of insight displayed were nothing short of impressive. It’s clear that the future of optometry is in incredibly capable hands!
A heartfelt thank you to the optometry students, ACO members and our ACO colleagues who joined us for this event. Your engagement made the event all the more enriching and impactful; we hope you walked away feeling as inspired as we did.
