Program Description Optometry is a healthcare profession concerned with examination, diagnosis and treatment of the human visual system. In this ageing population, the demand for eye care is expected to increase, and optometrists are ideally placed to help meet this demand. The programme is based on both fundamental academic sciences as well as detailed clinical and practical studies. The emphasis is very much on the optometric service to patients. Students will see patients in the University's own eye clinic, and attend local hospitals where they are instructed in the recognition and management of eye disease by senior ophthalmologists. This three-year programme enables students to progress towards practising as a registered optometrist - students will need to complete a year's pre-registration training after graduation in order to do this. This programme is accredited by the General Optical Council.
