We saw

Year 4 and 3 students recently had the opportunity to attend the 1oth Low Vision Conference which was held in KL Convention Center.

This was indeed a golden opportunity, as it greatly widen

our views on Optometry and future prospects. On top of that, we were able to see how our skills as an optometrist can help people with low vision to enrich their life and be able to do things like normal people.

Another interesting part was also how ophthalmology, optometry, occu

pation therapy, education, and many other health care professions are able to come together help the less fortunate.

We were able to meet and greet, and also to talk to some prominent figures in the industry.

From Dr Ian Bailey, Dr Jan Lovie-Kitchin (Bailey-Lovie Chart), Prof Dr Ger Van Ren and many many more!

Here are some of the pictures:
