Apa yang akan saya pelajari?

The School of Optometry is one of the five academic units in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences and is a research hub in Optometry with international recognition. The School focuses on two research areas, namely myopia and the ageing eye. Our ageing eye research focuses on understanding the physiological ageing processes leading to vision loss and the pathogenesis of age-related eye diseases including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and retinal degeneration.

The School invites high calibre students with evidence of academic excellence, research ability and good communication skills to apply for Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and Master of Philosophy (MPhil) studies.

As people age, visual function often deteriorates and the risk of eye disorders and pathologies increases. Our goal is to find better ways to manage such eye conditions to preserve vision and independence. We are carrying out research in the following areas:

  • Dry eye and tear physiology
  • Glaucoma and aqueous humour dynamics
  • Ocular biomechanics
  • Retinal degeneration

Course Structure:

Three years (for students admitted on the basis of a Master's degree with a significant research component);
Four years (for students admitted on the basis of a Master's degree or a Bachelor's degree).
