Hello Optoms!

We are thrilled to announce the return of one of the most anticipated Low Vision Interest Group activities of the year: Virtual Paint Night! Our Virtual Paint Night in Fall 2022 and Fall 2023 was a huge hit and was a great opportunity for friends to destress together.

Join us on Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 7:30 pm where Sarika Patel will walk us through one of her creations, step-by-step. Students are encouraged to try painting in dim light or using some sort of low-vision simulator, for example, sunglasses, polarized glasses, red-green glasses, taping paper over the central visual field on spectacles, painting in the dark, etc.

Deadline for registration and payment is Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The cost for participation is $18 per person, with proceeds being used to support future events and activities of the Low Vision Interest Group!

All required materials, including a canvas, paint, and brushes, will be provided. We plan to make the material available for pick-up at both CLV and the School of Optometry.

All participants will also have the opportunity to win one of three $25.00 Amazon gift cards. All that is required is for you to take a picture of yourself with your artwork and share the type of low-vision simulation you experimented with. Make sure to post your pictures on the Facebook event page. With your permission we will share your masterpieces with our members!
