Wenzhou medical college ophthalmology optics college
Due to historical reasons, China, like many Asian countries, has been in a blank state. It was not until the 1970s that Wenzhou Medical College began to systematically study optometry, which marked the beginning of optometry in China. Wenzhou Medical College began to recruit optometry graduate students from 65438 to 0978, and clinical ophthalmology undergraduate students from 65438 to 0988, which marked the beginning of higher education in optometry medicine in China. In 200 1 year, with the approval of the Ministry of Education, optometry, as a newly established major, began to enroll students independently? And jointly trained a doctor of optometry with the New England Institute of Optometry.
The optometry major of the School of Ophthalmology and Optics of Wenzhou Medical College is the earliest optometry talent base established in China, with the only optometry research center of the Ministry of Health, and it is a key discipline in colleges and universities in Zhejiang Province. Since the establishment of optometry major, while actively digesting and absorbing the advanced knowledge and experience of optometry education abroad, we have tried our best to explore a development path of optometry which is suitable for China's national conditions and has China characteristics, and is internationally known as the "Wenzhou Model of China" of optometry. As far as its characteristics are concerned, optometry higher education represented by Wenzhou Medical College mainly includes the following contents:
1. Discipline belongs to the category of medical system;
2. Senior professionals are trained by medical colleges;
3. Professional knowledge structure is an organic combination of modern ophthalmology and optometry;
4. Five-year undergraduate graduates can obtain a bachelor's degree in medicine and obtain medical qualifications;
5. Have the right of prescription and operation.
In terms of personnel training objectives, students are first required to have comprehensive optometry professional knowledge and practical ability to fill the gap of senior talents in this field in China and gradually "connect" with the current international optometry education. At the same time, it is emphasized to strengthen the training of modern ophthalmology knowledge and skills, so that students can make contributions to people's eye health and vision care with their professional knowledge after graduation. In addition, professional subjects such as basic medicine and clinical medicine are added to the curriculum, which combines medicine with multi-disciplines, makes the professional knowledge structure tend to be reasonable, and has the characteristics of "wide caliber" Graduates are suitable for advanced and specialized clinical, teaching and scientific research units and grass-roots units at all levels, so that they are both professional and broad, and can be promoted and demoted.
The major courses of students in this major are ophthalmology, ophthalmology optics, clinical optometry, ophthalmology, ophthalmology, eye hygiene, optometry, strabismus and amblyopia, binocular vision and low vision, contact lenses and so on. Graduates mainly work as ophthalmologists and optometrists in general hospitals, specialized hospitals, medical colleges, optical companies and research departments of ophthalmic optical devices at all levels, and undertake the teaching and scientific research work of ophthalmic optics.
The incidence of myopia among adolescents in China is as high as 50% ~ 60%, accounting for about 33% of the total number of myopia patients in the world, which is much higher than the proportion of the total population of 22% in China. The incidence of amblyopia is 2% ~ 4%, and the incidence of low vision is 1% ~ 2%. At present, about 800 million people wear glasses. Ophthalmology has a very broad prospect in China.

After two and a half years' study and six months' clinical practice, he passed the exam and got the diploma. 1996 began to try to cultivate five-year visual photonics. The method is to select students who are willing to work in optometry in the future from clinical medicine majors. After completing three and a half years of basic medical courses, I transferred to optometry major for one and a half years of course study and clinical practice. From 1998, graduate students majoring in optometry will be enrolled. 3-year graduates can continue their undergraduate studies.
