Throughout your educational journey, we foster an appreciation for optimal eye health and eyesight, equipping you with the competencies needed to skilfully manage conditions such as myopia and presbyopia, detect common eye diseases and correct vision with spectacles and contact lenses.

Real-world training and exposure

Beyond the classroom, you will engage in hands-on training to advance your  skills. Harness state-of-the-art technology at the SP Optometry Centre and work with real clients from the first year, levelling up in responsibilities as you hone your skills. Through industrial attachments, a 22-week internship and overseas attachments, you’ll broaden your perspectives, learn best practices from the industry and network with peers and professionals.
