This week we celebrate the World Optometry Week. In other respects, March 23 was the World Optometry Day, which is celebrated with the aim of raising awareness of optometry as a profession. Considering the fact that one of VVG’s study programmes is Optometry, and that in October we have initiated the development of a specialist graduate study programme in Optometry, we will celebrate the World Optometry Week by starting work on the curriculum development for the aforementioned specialist study programme and thus contribute to the promotion of optometry as a profession.
