The National Optometry Centre
The National Optometry Centre (NOC) at DIT Kevin Street, is a state-of-the-art facility and the only such centre in Ireland. The main function of the NOC is to facilitate clinical training for DIT Optometry students. The Centre is developing specialised clinics in areas such as paediatrics, low vision and contact lenses. It will also offer eye examinations, spectacles and contact lenses to the general public. Free eye examinations are offered to DIT students.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or centre:
“We want, and must have, a national policy, as to slavery, which deals with it as being wrong.”

“Here in the centre stands the glass. Light
Is the lion that comes down to drink. There
And in that state, the glass is a pool.
Ruddy are his eyes and ruddy are his claws
When light comes down to wet his frothy jaws”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
