About us

University of Texas Pre-Optometry Professional Society (UT POPS) is an established student organization that works to inform students at the University of Texas about the field of optometry. We encourage strong relationships between students and optometrists and provide hands-on experience for vision care through shadowing, volunteering, and employment opportunities. 
Each year, we invite optometry school representatives and local optometrists to speak at our meetings to inform students greater detail about the optometry school application process as well as the profession.
