SCHOOL OF Chemical and life sciences Advanced Diploma In Optometry Singapore Polytechnic is the only tertiary institution in Singapore that offers courses in Optometry at both Diploma and Advanced Diploma levels. The Advanced course was first launched in July 2004. The aim of the two year part time course is to upgrade the level of technical skills and knowledge of qualified optometrists to meet the challenges within the everchanging optical and eye care industries. Key features of the course include the teaching of advanced techniques with diagnostic agents by eye specialists from Singapore National Eye Centre (SNEC) to detect and diagnose eye diseases, teaching of clinical techniques to refract and manage children, fitting specialised contact lenses, and to prescribe low vision aids to those with visual disability. Career Prospects Employment opportunities for graduates with the Advanced Diploma in Optometry qualifications in Singapore are projected to be very bright due to the more advanced clinical skills of these optometrists. Graduates are well suited for employment as optometrists in private practices of other optometrists and eye specialists. Government hospitals and statutory bodies will also employ these optometrists in their organisations. Alternatively, graduates may pursue research careers at various R&D institutions. Practical Training Practical training will be conducted at the Singapore Polytechnic’s two Optometry Centres and at SNEC. The Optometry Centres have a range of state-of-the-art clinical and laboratory facilities that provide students with enhanced learning experience on the latest equipment and precision instruments, while SNEC is recognised as the premier eye specialist centre in Singapore that provides excellent clinical training facility. Entry Requirements Please refer to the Admissions chapter of this prospectus for details.
