Why study optometry at QUT?

QUT Health Clinics

Optometry Clinic

Our School of Optometry is the only one in Queensland, and one of just five in Australia.

Our students work in our Optometry Clinic, under the supervision of qualified and registered optometrists.

They provide eye and vision examinations, spectacles and contact lenses, as well as specialist services including:

  • children's vision
  • colour vision assessment
  • retinal and anterior eye imaging and analysis
  • corneal topography
  • ocular photography
  • computerised perimetry
  • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander optometry services
  • vision rehabilitation for visually impaired people.

Our staff maintain strong links with industry and the Optometrists Association Australia (OAA), and participate in continuing professional education.

Our clinical teachers have private practice experience, and our guest lecturers are optometrists working in private practice and other health disciplines such as medicine and pharmacy.

Our research staff investigate vision performance and rehabilitation using facilities unique to Queensland.
