Optometry is a healthcare profession requiring a Bachelor’s degree. After completing the studies, an optometrist can independently determine the refractive status and errors of the client, suggests appropriate optical aids, and apply contact lenses. In diagnosing eye defects, optometrists and ophthalmologists use highly sophisticated optical and ophthalmological examination devices. In the course of their studies, students get acquainted with the use of these devices even in complicated cases at ophthalmology departments and clinics in Brno (St. Anne’s University Hospital, University Hospital Brno in Brno-Bohunice, and University Children’s Medical Center) as well as with the production of optical aids at facilities close to the St. Anne’s University Hospital, the facility of the Department of Optometry and Orthoptics in Komenského náměstí (Komenský Square), optical shops in Brno, and contact lens application centres. The programme introduces students to the fundamental principles of mathematics and physics focused on general optometry as the basis for the study of optometry. It further consists of medical and biology courses that provide students with the necessary knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and ophthalmology; optometry courses that form the core of the programme; and basic economics and legal regulations courses.
