Why Study Abroad
Working in Optometry can be an incredibly lucrative career, especially in developed nations. However, it is the less fortunate developing nations that are currently seeing a huge need for professionals in vision services.
In the past, health care systems in developing nations have focused on what have been far more deadly health issues, such as malnutrition and communicable diseases. However, as these issues become slightly easier to manage and solutions for optical problems become cheaper, the focus is being shifted to address less life-threatening, yet sometimes more debilitating, diseases related to vision.
Optometry interventions don’t always directly save lives, but the improvements in quality of life that patients experience when vision problems are corrected is enormous. By restoring patients sight, optometrists allow them to once again become functioning members of their households and their communities.
Beyond the opportunities for direct, hands-on experience implementing interventions, more classical optometry study abroad programs are certainly available as well. Just as with any study abroad program, students studying optometry abroad will be provided with the chance to learn to adapt to new environments and work with people from other cultures, and of course gain a nice addition to their professional resume.
