Prize Draw for a FREE Volk Lens with STinterview and Altomed

STInterview have partnered with Altomed for a free prize draw for one lucky successful trainee! Congratulations on getting your number! These are exciting times and you might be wondering what you can do to prepare for your first year of residency in the specialty of your dreams…

As a budding ophthalmologist it is time to put your stethoscope away, and instead, invest in a shiny new lens, preferably engraved. As a loyal subscriber to our course, we wanted to offer you the opportunity to enter a prize draw to get that lens for FREE. 

We have partnered up with Altomed to provide one lucky subscriber with a beautiful Superfield lens, which is more than enough to equip you for your first year. (Collecting multiple of these comes later). It is a great starter lens and will cover all your needs as a new trainee.
