Eyesight is one of our most vital senses, and our eyes are some of the most intricate organs in our body. Additionally, sight impairments are the most common physical ailments, and there is a growing array of means for correcting theses problems. These facts explain why an entire scientific field is dedicated to the study of eyesight, eye functionality and the diagnosis and treatment of sight impairments – the field of Optometry.
Optometry is an interdisciplinary science involving physics, chemistry and optics (including advanced laser technologies), alongside biology, anatomy, pharmacology and even psychology. The study Program at the Department of Optometry at Bar-Ilan University includes the examination of scientific, biological and clinical aspects of the human body, with emphasis on eye functions in babies, children, adults and seniors.
Optometry is a highly sought-after profession in hospitals, clinics, and different health institutions. Additionally, graduates can launch a career in Optometric research, an innovative field of great commercial and medical potential.
