BA/BS in Optometry

This programme trains optometry bachelors to perform comprehensive vision examinations, correct vision problems, and recognise eye disease using modern technologies, building on empirical experience aimed at preserving eye and visual health. Theoretical knowledge is delivered through lectures, seminars, and exercises, while practical skills are developed in simulator classes using the university's own optometric equipment and in supervised clinical placements. The curriculum covers general and eye anatomy and histology, wave and geometric optics, visual system optics, microbiology and immunology, eye pharmacology, neurobiology, vision-correction tools, contactology and contact lenses, eye diseases, and refraction, together with electives such as paediatric optometry, visual rehabilitation, and the basics of refraction surgery, alongside several periods of supervised optometrist practice and a two-part bachelor's thesis. Graduates qualify as healthcare professionals able to work in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and optics salons, independently or alongside other health and social-care professionals, and may continue into master's study in biomedicine.
