Optometry is an interdisciplinary discipline that combines ophthalmology and optical technology, mainly studying the basic knowledge and skills of ophthalmology, optometry, and modern optical technology.
This major not only focuses on eye health and diseases, but also involves the correction of vision, the prevention, diagnosis, and other aspects of eye diseases. It covers from basic ophthalmology theory to advanced optical technology applications, and is a field that aims to protect and enhance human visual health.
The postgraduate examination directions of optometry majors mainly include ophthalmology, clinical medicine and surgery.
The direction of ophthalmology mainly studies the diagnosis, prevention and prevention of eye diseases, including the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and measures of various eye diseases. This direction is the most directly related postgraduate entrance examination direction for optometry majors, and it is a good choice for students who want to conduct in-depth research in the field of ophthalmology.
The clinical medicine direction focuses more on practical application, cultivating students with solid medical knowledge and clinical skills, and being able to independently deal with various common and frequent ophthalmic diseases. This track is more suitable for students who want to combine their knowledge of optometry with clinical practice.
Although the direction of surgery is not directly related to optometry, surgery is one of the important means of ophthalmic diseases in many cases. Students in the Surgery programme will learn basic surgical skills and related knowledge that can be applied in eye surgery.
Optometry graduates can be employable in a variety of fields. In medical institutions, they can work in eye exams, vision correction, and eye surgery, among other things.
In addition, they can also be employed in eyewear enterprises, engaged in eyeglasses optometry and glasses dispensing, etc.
