Optometry combines the theoretical discipline of vision science with the clinical art of primary eye care. Vision science includes the optics of lenses, the physiology of the eye, the psychophysics of vision and the neuroscience of the brain. Optometry includes the diagnosis and management of ocular disease, the dispensing of spectacles and contact lenses, the management of people with special needs (children, low vision), sports vision and vision in the workplace. The faculty of Optometry offers a 4 year full-time combined B.Sc. (Visual Sciences) program. Further continue education 2 more years after graduates from 4 years program will be able to register and take an examination as an optometrist in Thailand. Job opportunities in this field are excellent and are expected to remain priority given the high visual demands in the modern computer-based workplace, and the aging population in Thailand.
