Ophthalmology degrees

Studying opthamology

Studying opthamology provides an understanding of the methods and practices for diagnosing, treating, and preventing eye diseases. Through courses in visual optics, eye anatomy and physiology, and pharmacology you can expect to gain the necessary skills needed to provide patients with the best possible care. With a degree in opthamology, you can anticipate developing the knowledge required to understand concepts such as vision testing, refractive errors, and retinal imaging while exploring emerging areas such as laser surgery and contact lens fitting. You'll also have the ability to apply your findings in various fields such as ophthalmic clinics, private practice settings, and research laboratories.
