Chicago College of Optometry

Chicago College of Optometry Welcome to The Chicago College of Optometry page! The Chicago College of Optometry is one of two colleges of optometry in Illinois.

Midwestern University is proud to announce the opening of the Chicago College of Optometry on its Downers Grove, Illinois Campus. The small class size and the faculty’s open door policy ensure that faculty are accessible and available to provide high quality educational experiences for students. All lectures, workshops, and laboratories are led by the full-time faculty of the College, not by graduate students.

Last week CCO hosted the Association of Optometric Contact Lens Educators (AOCLE) Annual Workshop! With the theme "Active Learning with Contact Lenses," attendees enjoyed CE lectures, interactive learning activities, an awards ceremony, and tours of MWU's campus and Eye Institute. Educators from 26 optometry schools across the U.S. & Canada joined us for an engaging and collaborative experience.

A huge thank you to Drs. Gialousakis, Conroy, Deligio, and Nadarajah, as well as Ms. Houbolt, for their efforts in making this event a tremendous success!
