NEW DELHI-28.11.24-In a major move to strengthen healthcare services for the people of Delhi, the Delhi Cabinet has approved the creation of an Optometry Training Wing at the Guru Nanak Eye Centre. This initiative, led by CM Atishi under the guidance of Arvind Kejriwal, underscores the government’s commitment to improving public health and training young professionals.
Highlighting the importance of equipping skilled optometrists to provide essential eye care services, CM Atishi stated at the press conference, ”The Optometry Training Wing at Guru Nanak Eye Centre will offer students a 4-year Bachelor of Optometry course. The Delhi Government is committed to providing better healthcare facilities to the people of Delhi, and young professionals will be trained through the Optometry Training Wing in this direction.”
It is noteworthy that the 4-year Bachelor of Optometry degree program, focusing on eye care services, includes a one-year internship.
CM Atishi added, “The problem of eye issues is increasing due to inadequate eye check-ups and people not wearing glasses on time. If people get their eyes checked at the right time and wear glasses as prescribed by optometrists, the incidence of serious eye diseases can be reduced. Keeping this in mind, the Delhi Government is establishing an Optometry Training Wing at Guru Nanak Eye Centre to provide basic eye care services by trained optometrists to the public.”
*The 4-year course includes a one-year internship*
This is a Bachelor’s course in Optometry, with a program focused on eye care services, which also includes a one-year internship.
