Overview

Widely regarded for its comprehensive training in managing various eye conditions, this programme encapsulates courses that are in-depth, challenging, and designed to significantly advance optometric clinical skills in the field of vision care. Students will be familiarised with every aspect of ocular health including preventive care, visual therapy and rehabilitation leading to the ability to diagnose and manage a full range of eye diseases in addition to helping patients with special needs such as low vision and other visual problems. By the end of their studies, they will be well prepared to deliver world-class eye care for their patients.Optometrists are needed by government and private hospitals, community health clinics, manufacturers of ophthalmic products, and as a practitioner in a private practice and chain store. The rising number of vision impairment cases in Malaysia, highlighted as cause for concern by the Ministry of Health, precedes a demand for vision care services that will continue to expand in the coming years. Upon completion of this programme, Malaysian students may register with Malaysian Optical Council.
