Major subjects and learning areas
The proposed syllabus covers anatomy and physiology, ocular anatomy, optics, visual science, microbiology, pathology, pharmacology basics, communication and patient care. Professional learning may include visual-acuity assessment, refraction support, common eye diseases, ophthalmic instruments, diagnostic tests, optical dispensing and community eye health.
Students may also learn operation-theatre assistance, sterilisation, medical records, emergency recognition, low-vision support, rehabilitation, outreach and health education. Final subject names, credits and assessments should be checked after curriculum adoption.
An effective syllabus should connect theory with supervised patient work. Students need repeated practice in accurate measurement, equipment hygiene, documentation, communication, referral and recognition of findings that require immediate clinical attention.
