feedback MOOC 1160x1192
I loved this course! I had been waiting for this course to open back up … and finally having the opportunity to take this course before I start Optometry School in September as great! As a pre-optometric student, all the topics were very interesting and explained very well. The optical illusions and learning about them was even more intriguing than I thought before taking the course. Being able to measure and record visual acuity was a task I enjoyed completing!

Taking this course might be the best decision I have made on my pre-optometry journey. It has been an effective way to quickly grow knowledge in the field of eyecare.

I highly recommend taking this course if you are looking for a deeper knowledge and application of optometry into everyday life scenarios.

I appreciated the knowledge check at the end of each module and how the information provided was easy to follow and relevant. The live sessions were also extremely helpful. I enjoyed learning so much about how we see the world.

It allows me to focus on organizing the questions or tests that I need to come up with a definitive diagnosis among various differential diagnoses in a real case, without being stressed by the time limitation as in real clinical practice.

Year 4 Optometry Student

It allows us to see more different conditions, and judge the diagnosis in a clinical way, rather than just reciting signs and symptoms in lecture notes.

Year 4 Optometry Student

I can learn from each case and search via internet. It can improve my memory via self-motivated learning.

Year 4 Optometry Student

It is very beneficial as it can link the knowledge we learnt to clinical practice, unlike normal written tests in which we just separately recite the knowledge on different topics.

The simulators can simulate ocular diseases that cannot be observed from our classmates.
 

Year 3 Optometry Student

It saves a lot of time, especially at the beginning of learning a new clinical technique, because at that stage we are not familiar with the technique and may be afraid to directly perform it on our classmates.
 

Year 3 Optometry Student

I am more confident to perform the skills in classmates or real patients after practicing with the simulator.
