Mondo Education Updated on 2024-02-01

The postgraduate examination direction of optometry major mainly includes but is not limited to the following aspects:

1.*Ophthalmology**:

The research content includes eye diseases, pathology, diagnosis and treatment, such as cataract, glaucoma, corneal disease, uveitis, retinopathy, etc.

2.*Optometry:

It focuses on the assessment and correction of visual function, and studies the detection methods, correction strategies and visual training techniques of refractive errors (myopia, farsightedness, astigmatism, etc.).

3.Ophthalmic Optics:

Focus on eyewear design and fitting, eyewear fitting technology, as well as advanced eyewear materials and optical product development.

4.*Low vision***

His research focuses on the vision technology and equipment of people with low vision, such as the selection and use of visual aids, functional vision training, etc.

5.*Optoneuroscience**:

* The processing mechanism of visual information in the brain involves the physiology, biochemistry, anatomy, and neural network construction of the visual system.

6.*Ophthalmic Biomedical Engineering**:

Research on the design, manufacture and application of ophthalmic medical devices in ophthalmic surgery, diagnosis and treatment, such as laser ophthalmic surgical instruments, intraocular lenses, and the application of biomaterials in ocular surface reconstruction.

7.*Prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents**:

In view of the current social concern of children's myopia, this paper studies the mechanism of myopia occurrence and development, and explores new technologies and methods for the prevention and control of myopia.

When choosing the direction of optometry, candidates should combine their own interests and specialties, career planning and the research strength of each school in this field. In addition, different institutions may set more detailed research directions according to their own characteristics and development needs.
