During the 4-year program, students will learn to estimate the refractive medium, refractive ability, errors of refraction, the way eye muscles function, and the various forms of heterophoria and convergence. They will get to practice how to examine binocular vision and different parts of the eye, how to estimate and measure ocular tension as well as other parameters and functions. Optometry students will be able to use their nursing and communication skills in their daily activities by interacting with patients and by finding ways to improve and preserve the vision of individuals, communities and the population as a whole.
