Clinical Optometry

The Master of Clinical Optometry was created for students who want to have a lifetime career as an optometrist. The level will be completed with a Bachelor of Vision Science - students who've finished the Bachelor of Science or High Level Science using a Vision Science major will be ineligible for entrance to the Master of Clinical Optometry. Optometry combines the theoretical area of vision science with the clinical art of eye care. Vision science involves the proliferation of lenses and tools, the physiology of the eye, the psychophysics of vision and the neuroscience of this brain. Optometry comprises the identification and management of ocular disorder, the utilization of spectacles and contact lenses, the direction of people who have special needs (kids, non vision), sports vision and vision in the workplace.

Upon completion of the Master of Clinical Optometry degree, students will be allowed to apply for registration with the Optometry Board leading to the practice of Optometry in Australia, New Zealand and All parts of Asia.

Progression in to the Master of Clinical Optometry is likely to be an aggressive process that is primarily based on academic performance. To be considered for entrance into the Master of Clinical Optometry, students must be at least an overall credit average (65% WAM) in the Bachelor of Vision Science.
