Optometrists are dedicated to helping people preserve and enhance their vision. After 3 or more years of university science, you may apply to Canada's only English-language School of Optometry & Vision Science.

You'll be exposed to all aspects of primary vision care, including ocular health, contact lenses, sports vision, binocular vision, low vision, and electrodiagnostics. By providing services to patients in our Optometry Clinic, in external clinics, and in private practice, you'll gain a wealth of practical experience. Your professors and mentors are some of the world's leading authorities on vision science and optometry.

The professional Doctor of Optometry program is 4 years in length, not including the minimum 3 years of university studies needed prior to entry.
