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.
