Why should I become a member?

SVOSH will help you to develop a community service oriented relationship with the people of the Houston area--and the WORLD. Every member in SVOSH is important in reaching our goals, which include philanthropy, fundraising, vision screenings at the local level, and prescribing and dispensing eyeglasses at the international level. Such activities are not only fulfilling, but also fun. With SVOSH, you will have the opportunity of meeting many interesting people from a wide variety of backgrounds as well as network with other professional organizations. For example, we are working in a vision screening partnership with the Baylor College of Medicine, which will foster positive working relations between medical and optometric profession. And you now have the ability to get elective credit by being involved in our organizations efforts. At SVOSH, we are dedicated to helping the community and enriching our members' academic lives. So, we would like to welcome you to the world of humanity in optometric care!
