Black EyeCare Perspective is redefining the color of the eyecare industry 1% at a time by creating a pipeline for Black students into optometry. Black EyeCare Perspective’s 13% Promise initiative is a call for equity in the increase of Black and African American representation in the eyecare industry to align with the United States Census population.

Black EyeCare Perspective has been able to affect the most change through the chartering of the Black EyeCare Perspective Pre-Optometry Club (BEPPOC). Since August 2020, BEPPOC has grown to over 205 members. The inaugural Signing Day event, in partnership with Johnson & Johnson Vision, celebrated the acceptance of 34 students into the class of 2025.
