Currently, 13.6 percent of the U.S. population, or nearly 46 million people, identify themselves as Black or African American—yet this demographic represents less than two percent of practicing optometrists and only four percent of students enrolled in optometry school. This disparity has empowered Transitions®, along with the Transitions Diversity Advisory Board, to partner with Black EyeCare Perspective, an organization committed to increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in the eyecare industry, for the HBCU Light Intelligent Tour.
