IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:

The main objective of the Bachelor’s degree in Optics and Optometry is to train Optometrists qualified to work independently or in multidisciplinary teams, providing extensive care in eye health.
Optometrist functions include detecting, analyzing, evaluating and compensating for refractive, functional and binocular vision problems as well as prescribing compensating lenses, visual aids, rehabilitation of vision system changes and referral to other healthcare professionals.
At ISEC Lisboa, we aim to train competitive and specialized professionals in Optics and Optometry. For this, we invest in a very practical component that is supported by all technical infrastructures with adequate and updated equipment as well as the University Clinic that is open to the community and where students have contact with real patients.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
- Optometry practice, whether professionally autonomous or in multidisciplinary teams in the field of eye care and related areas
- Manufacturing and marketing companies of optical and optometric materials, components and equipment
- Research in Optics and Optometry
