The Bachelor of Optometry at UKZN (Westville) is a four-year HPCSA-accredited professional degree training graduates to examine, diagnose, and manage diseases and disorders of the eye and visual system. South Africa has a significant burden of preventable and correctable vision impairment, and optometrists are crucial to addressing the country's eye health needs, particularly in under-served communities. The programme includes clinical training at UKZN's optometry clinic and community outreach placements across KwaZulu-Natal, preparing graduates for practice in both public and private settings.
