Abstract

In Canada, the optometric profession has now benefited from 100 years of university education, since l’Université de Montréal welcomed l’École d’optométrie as an affiliated entity in 1925. Two previous articles of the Canadian Journal of Optometry (CJO) presented the first parts of this school’s history, from its inception in 1910 to 2001.1,2 We conclude this historical overview in this issue by analyzing the growth of l’École d’optométrie de l’Université de Montréal since 2001.
