MARA Get Ready for University Programme 2023

An optometrist not only helps you see clearly and detects signs of eye disease, but also assesses how well your visual system – which encompasses the eyes, brain, and eye muscles – work.

At present, there are over 2,000 Optometrists in Malaysia. The World Council of Optometry (WCO) recommended Optometrist to patient ratio at 1:10,000. However, currently the ratio in our country stands at around 1:22,000.

On the 18^th March 2023, we had an exclusive collaboration with School of Optometry, UCSI University in UCSI Hospital in Springhill, Port Dickson. Ms Chia Jho Yan, Head of Training and Development for Focus Point was able to have a sharing session with some MARA students who are getting ready for their University programme this year.

She gave an introduction on Focus Point, the Optometry profession, what will they be able to learn in the Optometry program and a demonstration on how advanced equipment can help detect signs of eye disease.
