The Department of Optometry and Vision Sciences provides a series of subjects in visual and optical science for BSc students. The visual science subjects aim to provide students with a thorough knowledge of the eye and visual performance together with an understanding of the physiological processes underlying vision. The subjects in optical science aim to provide an understanding of optical systems and the ability to analyse the performance of optical systems, as well as the ability to develop designs for optical systems to specified performance criteria.
The subjects available to BSc students are:
655-101 Optical Systems
655-210 Optical Design and Metrology
655-221 Human Visual Functions
655-222 Physiology of Vision
655-321 Visual Processing and Control
655-323 Vegetative Physiology of the Eye
The Department also provides subjects in visual science and in clinical optometry which are a part of the four year course in optometry. These subjects are not available to BSc students. However, BSc students who have completed the BSc subjects in visual and optical science and who are subsequently admitted to the optometry course may obtain credit for the equivalent subjects in the optometry course.
