Around 30 Form 5 and Form 6 students from 21 local secondary schools participated in the Winter Taster Programme organized by the School on 22 December 2021. Participants learned various eye diseases and eye care knowledge through the workshop on vision sciences and interactive sessions. They toured the Optometry Clinic, Optometry Research Clinic and affiliated teaching and learning facilities in PolyU. Meanwhile, the School academic faculty and optometrists shared their experience which enabled participants to have a better understanding of the optometry undergraduate programme and the direction of future professional development.
