No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1994–95 to 1994–95 (before that, 1985–86 to 1993–94 used the number for Optometry Clinic); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

Optometry Clinics Optometry students are taught how to provide full scope optometric care within a clinical environment. In addition to primary care, students are instructed in the provision of ocular health, electrodiagnostic, binocular vision, contact lens, aniseikonia, low vision and optical services to patients. Interns with superior performance in OPTOM 448A may assist in supervision of third year interns during OPTOM 448B and OPTOM 448C. Optometric services are provided to special populations including geriatric, preschool and mentally retarded groups. To provide suitable exposure to the required components of clinical training, students may be assigned to practicums in institutions and/or private practices. Students will be required to show successful performance, during their time in clinic, in each of the required components of clinical training to which they are assigned, and that evaluation may involve oral examination, assessment of performance with patients, record review, and/or demonstration of techniques. Prereq: All third year Optometry courses

0.75/0.75 Optometry Clinic Optometry students are taught how to provide full scope optometric care within a clinical environment. In addition to primary care, students are instructed in the provision of ocular health, electrodiagnostic, binocular vision, contact lens, aniseikonia, low vision and optical services to the clinic patient population. Students also take part in a variety of outreach programs which provide optometric services to special populations including geriatric, preschool and mentally retarded groups. Practical and oral comprehensive examinations in clinical optometry are held in the final examination period of the winter term. Students may be allowed no more than two attempts to pass all parts of the comprehensive examinations. Repeated failure of these examinations may result in dismissal from the program. These exams may be considered by the Council of the College of Optometrists of Ontario to constitute part of the Ontario licensure requirements.
