The Lifetime Giving Societies recognize those alumni, friends and institutions whose culmulative gifts in support of the Illinois College of Optometry and the Illinois Eye Institute total $5,000 or more.  Our Mission to provide excellence in health care, patient care, scholarly activity and development of leaders for the optometric profession and society as a whole is reaffirmed by their philanthropic contributions.

We are grateful to each of our donors for their generosity.
