DIPLOMA IN OPHTHALMIC ASSISTANT

Ophthalmic Assistants assist ophthalmologists and optometrists in providing quality eye care services. Ophthalmic assistants play a key role in performing preliminary eye examinations, recording patient histories, and conducting vision tests such as visual acuity, refraction, and color vision screening. Their responsibilities include maintaining and sterilizing ophthalmic instruments, assisting during eye surgeries or minor procedures, and guiding patients in the use of corrective lenses or medications. They also help in managing patient records, scheduling appointments, and ensuring smooth clinic operations.

In addition, ophthalmic assistants educate patients on eye care, hygiene, and preventive measures for common vision problems. They must follow strict medical ethics, safety, and infection control standards. This diploma program equips students with both technical and interpersonal skills needed to support ophthalmologists in diagnosing and treating eye disorders, contributing to efficient and effective eye healthcare services.
