Dongshin University announced on July 15 that five students from the Department of Optometry and the Graduate School of Optometry recently received the 'Outstanding Paper Award' at the 2025 Joint Academic Conference of the Korean Society of Vision Science and the Korean Society of Optometry, held at Catholic Kwandong University.

Approximately 100 papers were presented at this academic conference, with active discussions on the latest research and clinical applications in the fields of vision science and optometry. By having five students honored with the 'Outstanding Paper Award,' Dongshin University demonstrated its research capabilities and educational standards in optometry to the broader academic community.

Student Kim Euihyeon presented a study titled "Comparison of Myopia and Astigmatism Progression in Wearers of Myopia Control Lenses and Single Vision Lenses Based on Real-world Data," which was recognized by the panel of judges for its significant academic contribution and clinical applicability.

The Department of Optometry at Dongshin University has consistently maintained a practice-oriented curriculum, active research activities, and ongoing international academic exchanges within the domestic optometry field. This achievement serves as a representative example of Dongshin University's emergence as a leading research institution in vision science and optometry.
