uvex continues to champion future eye health experts at UNSW prizegiving
This week, Dr Caleb Wegener proudly represented uvex at the UNSW School of Optometry and Vision Science Annual Prizegiving Evening, reaffirming the brand’s commitment to supporting the next generation of eye health professionals.
As part of uvex’s ongoing partnership with UNSW, the company sponsors the Stage 3 Environmental Optometry Prize, awarded to the student with the best performance in Stage 3 Environmental Optometry.
This year’s deserving recipient is Patrick Hoang, who was recognised for his outstanding academic achievement and dedication to the field.
“uvex is proud to support initiatives that encourage excellence and innovation in eye care,” said Dr Wegener. “Investing in education and celebrating emerging talent like Patrick is an important part of our mission to protect people — whether on the worksite or in their studies — with world-leading safety eyewear.”
uvex congratulates Patrick Hoang and all the award recipients for their hard work and commitment to vision science.
