The Graduate Certificate in Ocular Therapeutics is designed to provide training to allow optometrists in Queensland to use a range of topical ocular pharmaceuticals for the treatment of eye disease. The design and implementation of this program has been in response to legislative changes in Queensland to allow suitably qualified optometrists to use a range of S4 drugs to treat eye disease. This course is the only local means whereby Queensland optometrists can gain a qualification in ocular therapeutics, and it will be supplementary to their normal optometric registration.
