Now in it’s seventh year, the Out of the Box Optics Optoversity Challenge 2023 (in aid of Vision Care for Homeless People) is the only inter-University competition between optometry students in the UK and ROI.

It is a light-hearted, fun event which tests the students on various aspects of optometry and challenges them to raise funds towards the running of Vision Care for Homeless People’s clinics.

Following on from the success of last year’s online event, which had students from 11 universities take part from across all years, we are hosting the competition online (for 1st, 2nd years and 3rd/4th years. The students will face challenges set by Out of the Box Optics according to their year group. Each university team may have an unlimited number of students for the online competition, and the top 4 students from the final year will be invited for the GRAND FINAL at 100% Optical in London on 26th February 2023. This presentation will announce the winner!
