Master of Health Care, Clinical Optometry (MOptom)

About this programme

This education provides advanced-level biomedical and specialized ocular sciences and equips you with the competency to independently practice clinical optometry (assessment and management of ocular diseases and ocular manifestations of systemic diseases) in demanding eye care settings. In addition, you will learn to recognize ocular signs of systemic diseases that can be used as information for treating patients' general health, or that may lead to the early detection of unidentified systemic health disorders. A multidisciplinary approach to managing patients with chronic and/or acute conditions, along with the need for appropriate referrals, will also be taught.
