Optometry is a healthcare profession concerned with examination, diagnosis and treatment of the human visual system. In our 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.

The primary purpose of this qualification is to provide qualifying students with the ability to: Perform independent original and creative scientific research; Contribute significant knowledge to and insight into optometry as well as the specific discipline of research; Display skills in related research methodologies and in proper formulation through a doctoral dissertation; Reflect upon decision-making, self-directedness, and contributions to optometric science; Only a Research Doctorate can be done.

The Master of Orthoptics provides the requisite in-depth knowledge, skills and experience to work as an orthoptist in the multidisciplinary eye healthcare sector. Innovative and practice-based in approach, it enables the development of specialist knowledge and skills while preparing students for changing practices in response to new evidence and rapidly emerging medical technologies.
