Here’s what WO had to say about Lauretta…
Lauretta Justin, OD, of Orlando, Florida, is the founder of Optometry Divas, a networking group with about 1,300 members on Facebook and a committed group who attend events. Optometry Divas recently launched a scholarship program for third-optometry students, which links not just the winner but all applicants with a mentor in an area of the profession in which they have an interest. Dr. Justin is committed to supporting, empowering, inspiring and engaging women ODs with powerful business acumen and willingness to provide substantial resources to her community. She also owns a private practice in Orlando.
