Specific sub-specialty in Optometry(attn: Optom students or Current Optometrist)

[Moptometry]

Does anybody know what schools have emphasis on specific sub-specialties such as pediatric eyecare, geriatric eyecare, specialty contact lens, ocular disease or neuro-optometry? Pacific University says they teach a more general curriculum. But lets say I wana go to a school that emphasis more on ocular disease or Pediatric.....what schools provide that type of curriculum?

Thanks

So nobody knows what they are getting into?

Every school has to teach every area, because it's all on boards. There isn't really any extra leftover time in the curriculum to teach extra classes about a particular area.

They all do. It's called a residency.
