ICO launched Chicago Vision Outreach near the close of 2010, an initiative to advance students’ training by learning how to address the diverse challenges of a patient population that needs preventative eye care. This program brings meaningful enhancements to ICO’s revered clinic program and connects students with a range of clinic experiences.

Benefits of the Chicago Vision Outreach Program include:

• Providing students with access to additional patient encounters and giving students a broad spectrum of experiences by increasing their annual clinical sessions by one session per week for one quarter. 

• Established satellite eye clinics in partnership with Federally Qualified Health Centers including

• Alivio Medical Center

• Erie Family Health Center

• Illinois Eye Institute at ACCESS

• Access to Illinois Eye Institute at Princeton Elementary School, a partnership with Chicago Public Schools to provide eye health and vision care to students
