Global Optometry Resources
Welcome
Dr. Luigi Bilotto - Director, Global Human Resource Development
Brien Holden Vision Institute
Welcome to the Academy's Global Optometry Resources, a suite of open
‘educational resources that gives access to the courses that largely comprise the
core units of an optometry degree program.
Designed primarily for students and lecturers of emerging optometry schools, it
offers downloadable teaching and learning materials that are relevant and
suitable for all other groups of eye care personnel.
Please note: the Global Optometry Resources is not a formal course offering.
There are no assignments, exams or certification available with the Resources -
these are provided by universities and colleges using the resources. For an
individual user, the resources are intended as a reference only, rather than as a
full course.
The initiative seeks to provide quality educational tools that will facilitate the
implementation, delivery and advancement of optometric education worldwide,
particularly in resource poor settings - the Global Optometry Resources are
proving invaluable in the development of numerous optometry programs.

worldwide.
Produced from the contributions and participation of some of the finest optometric
educators from institutions around the globe, to whom we are immensely grateful,
the educational works remains a living process. We therefore welcome your
feedback and input to the ‘open-source’ materials. Please contact us at
