The major of optometry technology mainly cultivates senior technical talents in the optometry industry, that is, optometry medical technicians who have professional basic theoretical knowledge of optometry and ophthalmology, and master eye detection, fitting, refractive error correction and visual training. The Department of Medical Technology has five specialties: medical laboratory technology, optometry technology, medical beauty technology and rehabilitation treatment technology, and medical instrument maintenance technology; It has two offices (department office and student work office), three teaching and research departments (medical laboratory technology department, optometry technology department and rehabilitation technology department), and one secondary college jointly established by the university and enterprise - Best Optometry College.
Main courses The major of ophthalmic technology mainly offers courses in English, computer foundation, human structure and function, medical immunity and pathogenic organisms, pharmacology, pathology, applied optics of eyes, clinical medicine outline, ophthalmology, binocular vision and low vision, glasses technology, corneal contact lens fitting technology, refraction and optometry technology, ophthalmic public health, glasses marketing and management Visual aesthetics and other courses.
Admission requirements (1) The facial features are correct, the body is healthy, the body is symmetrical, the personality is cheerful, and the behavior is dignified.
(2) Vision requirements: no eye deformation, color blindness, color weakness, strabismus, corrected vision of more than 1.0;
(3) There is no obvious scar on the face, neck and hands, and there is no skin disease that cannot be cured for a long time.
Training objectives The major of optometry technology cultivates students to master the basic theory of optometry, understand the necessary medical knowledge, have the professional ability and quality of staff in the field of optometry, be able to use modern optometry technology and means for optometry, and provide visual training, myopia prevention and control, low vision rehabilitation, public visual health consulting services, support the basic line of the Party, adapt to production, construction Advanced technical applied professionals who are required by the front-line management and service and who are fully developed in morality, intelligence, sports and beauty.
Employment direction The Department of Medical Technology was established in 2006. After graduation, students majoring in ophthalmic technology can work in ophthalmology (or ophthalmic specialized hospitals), ophthalmic prevention and protection institutions, quality and technology supervision and testing departments at all levels, and eyewear companies (stores); It can independently establish professional service organizations for optometry technology; It is also possible to further study in relevant majors and their branches to obtain higher level employment according to national policies.
Professional knowledge of optometry technology The market potential of glasses in China is huge. There are about 400 million people with myopia and more than 130 million people with presbyopia. 90% of these people need glasses. According to the current number of optical shops in China, about 240000 optometrists are needed, but the number of graduates of optometry specialty is less than 1000 every year. Therefore, senior applied optometrists who can not only engage in medical optometry, glasses matching technology, but also engage in the operation and management of the glasses industry are trained, In order to continuously meet the growing needs of people for vision care services.
