A bachelor's degree in optometry trains primary eye-care professionals to examine eyes and vision, prescribe spectacles and contact lenses, detect eye disease and refer patients for medical care. Students study ocular anatomy and physiology, geometric and physiological optics, refraction, binocular vision, contact lenses, low vision, ocular disease and dispensing, with supervised clinical practice. Programmes usually last three to four years, often including a clinical internship. Registration to practise as an optometrist is controlled by national regulators, so international students should check recognition where they plan to work.
