Program Overview

Be at the forefront of eye care practice, working as part of a multi-disciplinary vision care team. You will study ocular pathology, refracting and pharmacology, and business and retail aspects of the profession.

Through our hands-on learning approach, you’ll gain skills that will demonstrate your application of the theory through clinical competencies focusing on refraction, filling eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions, ensuring a proper fit, and determining clients’ eyewear needs.

You’ll have a chance to practice and demonstrate these skills, along with business and retail skills, in dynamic, patient-centred environments through classroom lectures, laboratory practice and clinical practicum placements so you get exposure to simulated real-work experience before you graduate.
