Optometry is a health care profession that is autonomous and optometrists are primary health care practitioners of the eye and visual system who provide comprehensive eye and vision care, which includes refraction and dispensing, detection/diagnosis and co-management of disease in the eye and the rehabilitation of conditions of the visual system
Primary eye care i.e. diagnosis and referral. Vision care i.e. prescribing & dispensing of best suitable eye glasses, Contact Lens, Low Vision, Binocular vision services & Orthoptic management, etc Co-Management of diseases that includes follow-up, referral.
The Course aims at carving out graduates in OptometryThey will be well versed in
Basic Refraction, slit lamp examination, IOP measurement,
Contact lens fitting and orthoptic assessment
Carrying out special investigative procedures Pre & Post Lasik evaluation , Dry eye assessment ,Low Vision management , Gonioscopy , etc
Operating ,maintaining, and interpretation of ophthalmic instruments like OCT, HFA , etc
Maintaining ophthalmic theatre and Operating Instruments
Running an Optical establishment
Assisting Ophthalmologist in his/her practice
Candidates for admission to the course should have passed Higher Secondary examination conducted by Board of Higher Secondary Education / Vocational higher Secondary, Kerala or any examination equivalent thereto as approved by Kerala University of Health Sciences, Thrissur. Should have 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English put together.
The course shall comprise of the theoretical and practical studies in different branches of Optometry and its related subjects.
The duration of the course shall be 4 years.
After 3rd year, students shall undergo a compulsory rotatory internship in various optometry departments at Giridhar Eye Institute for a duration of 12 months.
General Anatomy & Physiology, Ocular anatomy & Physiology, Physical & Geometric Optics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English.
Optometric Optics, CEVS, Visual Optics, Nutrition, Biochemistry & Pharmacology, Pathology & Microbiology, Information Technology
Systemic Diseases, Eye Diseases, Contact Lens, Dispensing & Mechanical Optics Low Vision Aids, Binocular Vision and Squint, Community Optometry & Project.
Internship, Clinics and Projects
A wide range of instruments like Travelling Microscope, Newtons Ring experiments , Spectrometer, Polarimeter, etc are provided in our Physics lab. The demonstrations to understand various principles of light and optics are carried out by subject experts .
Our mechanical Lab is equipped with the surfacing machine and its components for the students to learn the art of surfacing an optical lens to the desired curvature /power. This gives them a better understanding of the mechanism on correction of refractive errors. Students are guided under an optical trainer and expected to individually design an optical lens to the accuracy.
A refraction room, well equipped with all the equipments required by an optometrists to conduct the eye exam is provided. Subject experts from various department in optometry will conduct the sessions apart from classrooms
Anatomy & physiology slides / picture /model /video demonstartions are conducted from time to time by the lectrurer / Trainer.
