OptiCon @ Vision Expo and The National Federation of Opticianry Schools (NFOS) will debut the NFOS College Bowl at this year’s Vision Expo East. This fast-paced quiz competition will test 12 students from NFOS-member opticianry schools on their optical knowledge.
The NFOS College Bowl will challenge each competitor with optical-focused questions to determine the final champion. The winning student will receive a monetary prize, bragging rights and the NFOS College Bowl trophy for their college.
Attendees are encouraged to root on their favorite opticianry school and network with the next generation of opticians, contact lens technicians and ophthalmic allied professionals.
