Ophthalmology is a dynamic unit with considerable teaching commitments in undergraduate and postgraduate health sciences and clinical medicine, and an active research programme. We have an interest in the development of innovative teaching methods and especially the use of the internet for distance learning.
Ophthalmology's online Eye Chart Store sells visual acuity charts to eye-care professionals.
Eye Research Otago undertakes vital research for older people who experience visual impairment, identifying any current inequities, and ultimately improving long-term health outcomes.
