Salus University has partnered with National Vision, Inc., a subsidiary of National Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE), to advance optometric education via a pilot program focused on training students on conducting remote eye exams utilizing high-tech equipment and real-time secure HD video conferencing. The technology enables optometrists to see patients remotely in locations that do not have a doctor or when the doctor is not available.

Doctors from the University launched the pilot program in January, conducting remote exams from The Eye Institute – the University’s main clinical optometric facility – for patients within a retail optical location operated by National Vision.
