Professional Certificate in Low Vision

From time to time, every practising optometrist encounters patients who suffer from, or develop impaired vision. With the increasing mean age of our population, the number of patients with impaired vision will rise since a great many conditions causing impaired vision are due to "ageing". Given the specialist nature of the topic, it is clear that many more optometrists will need to increase their knowledge and understanding of optometric and general issues relating to the needs of the visually impaired person in order to serve the community effectively. The advanced level of information imparted on this module will update you on recent developments in vision research relevant to visual impairment in addition to providing you with knowledge which will help you to manage a visually impaired person in practice.Examination date: 16th September Course Information Start DateCostCourse CodeApply For additional dates please register your interest Home / EU - £1,000 OVM013 Register Interest Eligibility You should normally be a UK registered optometrist satisfying all legal requirements to be eligible to practise in the UKOverseas optometrists will be accepted on an ad hoc basis providing your undergraduate syllabus and clinical responsibilities are similar to those of a UK optometrist.
