This Women’s History Month, we’re honoring Dr. Gertrude Stanton - the first woman licensed to practice optometry in the United States.
Her dedication and determination helped pave the way for generations of women in eye care. Because of trailblazers like Dr. Stanton, the field of optometry continues to grow stronger, more diverse, and more impactful every day.
We’re proud to recognize the women who shaped our profession and the incredible women who continue to lead it forward. 💜💚
