Applications are accepted annually. Interviews will be conducted at USF Eye Institute in early December. Our deadline for receipt of materials from SF Match is October 15. We do not accept supplemental information.  We request that you provide us with a vision examination to include corrected and uncorrected visual acuity, if you are chosen to interview.
