The BSc in Optometry is a specialized three-year undergraduate program that equips students with the knowledge and skills to assess, diagnose, and manage various visual disorders and eye diseases. The curriculum covers areas such as ocular anatomy, optics, visual perception, and clinical optometry.
Students are trained to conduct comprehensive eye examinations, prescribe corrective lenses, and fit contact lenses. They also learn to identify common eye conditions such as refractive errors, cataracts, and glaucoma, referring patients for further medical or surgical intervention when necessary.
The program includes hands-on clinical training, enabling students to work in eye clinics, optical centers, hospitals, and private practice. Graduates can also pursue further studies in MSc Optometry, ophthalmology, or specialized certifications in contact lens fitting or low vision therapy.
