Illinois College of Optometry
Make a real difference in
optometry and the world.
The ICO Difference
We are one of the world's leading
optometric institutions for good reason.
Learn in the heart
of Chicago.
Our location provides you with a diverse array of patients - ultimately making you a better doctor.
Work with real
patients in the clinic
from year 1.
We get you into clinic early because we believe you learn best when classes are paired with real-world clinical experiences.
Our program is for optometrists, by optometrists.
Every course, every lab is built to prepare you to be the best doctor of optometry possible.
