Name: Kara Jones Hometown: Kingsville, Ontario (trust me, you’ve never heard of it) Favourite O­Week Event: Wonderland Favourite Optom Event: EyeBall Congratulations class of 20/20! My best advice is to get ready for many optometry puns. Because the further you get into optom, the jokes just get cornea and cornea. And to be honest, I can’t tell if it’s better, or worse… better… or worse? Iris you the best of luck in your first year!
