Study program Optics and Optometry, respectively Optometry, is aimed to educate non-medical healthcare workers in accordance with the Law on Non-medical Health Professions (Act No. 96/2004 Coll.). Graduates of this Bachelor's degree program may continue in the follow-up master program of Optometry. During the study, emphasis is placed on interconnection with related branches in the eye care, especially ophthalmology.“Eye - a window to the soul.”
Practical training
This bachelor's degree program includes practice by more than 1000 hours of relevant legal regulations. Students in practical exercises verify theoretical knowledge gained during lectures and seminars. Practice is carried out in specialized teaching laboratories, at opticians, optometric workplaces, ophthalmology ambulatories and clinics.
This practice will be in the form of a group, then an individual with supervision, and is spread over all semesters, emphasising the second half of the study.
