Schedule a Visit

See for yourself

If you’re considering the IU School of Optometry, we encourage you to visit. There’s nothing like walking around the iconic IU Bloomington campus, and you’ll find there’s plenty to see and do here in our gem of a college town.

Download a campus map for a self guided tour, and find things to do in Bloomington while you’re here. You’ll want to experience everything you can.

To arrange a personal visit, simply contact us at 812-855-1917 or iubopt@indiana.edu.
