All you need to know about Studying Optometry in Malaysia

An optometrist is an eye care professional who is trained to perform eye examinations. They are experts in optical lenses, eye health, and visual performance. Among their important roles are; assessing, diagnosing, as well as, managing ocular or vision diseases, injuries and disorders for their patients.

Optometry is a career field filled with possibilities in Malaysia. Optometry offers flexibility, variety, gratification, good income, and freedom in choosing a location to practice – all while doing meaningful work.

Optometrists examine, diagnose, treat and manage diseases, injuries, and disorders of the visual system, the eye, and associated structures and their related systemic conditions. Optometrists care for their patients’ visual health similar to the way doctors care for their patient’s general health. An optometrist’s skill is based on an intimate knowledge of the workings of the eye and visual system. A variety of complex techniques and instruments complement an understanding of the patient’s needs.

An optometric examination begins with the optometrist taking a detailed case history, to determine what visual problems the patient may be experiencing, as well as other relevant information about their health and visual needs. The optometrist then performs a series of tests, some of which are carried out routinely and others when indicated by the patient’s case history and the results of other tests.

The consultation concludes with the optometrist’s diagnosis of the patient’s problem, explaining the diagnosis to the patient and deciding on appropriate treatment. Treatments can include prescribing suitable spectacles, contact lenses or eye exercises, or simply giving advice on lighting, visual habits or other issues.

An important part of an optometrist’s work is the detection and diagnosis of eye disease. When an optometrist detects a visual complaint which requires medical or surgical treatment the patient may be referred to an ophthalmologist.

The difference between an ophthalmologist, optometrist, and optician in Malaysia

The job demand for qualified optometrists in Malaysia is high with good salary

The training and education required as well as the level of expertise for ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians in Malaysia are different.

  1. In order to become an Ophthalmologist, one needs to study the medical degree and then specialise in it. Medical practitioners who specialise in the treatment of eye disease and surgery are known as ophthalmologists. They may also be called eye specialists, eye surgeons or eye doctors. Optometrists refer patients needing surgery or treatment of some eye diseases to ophthalmologists. Ophthalmologists are Medical Specialists trained in eye and vision care, and are licensed to practice medicine and surgery.  Ophthalmologists diagnose and treat eye diseases and perform ocular surgery. To correct vision problems,  Ophthalmologists prescribe and fit eyeglasses and contact lenses.
  2. Optometrists in Malaysia provide primary eye care specialising in visual health and eye care.
    UCSI University students are taught by highly experienced professors in the Optometry programme

    Optometrists provide sight testing and correction as well as diagnosing, treating and managing vision changes.  The work of an Optometrist in Malaysia includes prescribing and dispensing corrective lenses, detecting certain eye abnormalities, and prescribing medications for certain eye diseases. They also diagnose, treat and manage vision changes. An Optometrist is not the same level as a doctor.

  3. Opticians in Malaysia design, verify and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other devices to correct eyesight. Opticians in Malaysia cannot perform vision tests nor write prescriptions for visual correction. The Malaysian Government will require eye care providers to be trained as Optometrists therefore the job demand for Opticians will decrease.

Who should study Optometry in Malaysia?

A good optometrist will enjoy working with people of all ages and have a genuine desire to help their patients.A strong academic background is needed, as optometry courses are challenging and generally have limited places.Once in practice, optometrists need to have an interest in continued learning and professional development. This should include clinical knowledge to help in patient care and practice management to further develop business acumen.

Where do Optometrists Work in Malaysia?

An optometrist is an eye care professional who is trained to perform eye examinations. They are experts in optical lenses, eye health, and visual performance. Among their important roles are; assessing, diagnosing, as well as, managing ocular or vision diseases, injuries and disorders for their patients.

Most Malaysian optometrists are either self-employed or work for other optometrists in private practice. Optometric practices are like those of doctors or dentists and are usually located in office-type premises in or near shopping areas.

Sometimes optometrists work outside their practices, for example visiting homes of bedridden or house-bound patients, acting as a consultant to firms or factories at their premises, or working at health care institutions such as hospitals, community health centres or special clinics.

A small number of optometrists do not enter private practice after completing their course but continue their studies through research and teaching. These optometrists are called vision scientists and usually obtain higher qualifications such as a master’s degree or a Ph.D.

Malaysian optometrists’ basic range of clinical skills and procedures include:

  • Refraction: Measuring the optics of the eye
  • Binocular vision tests: Testing the co-ordination of the two eyes as a team
  • Ophthalmoscopy: Internal examination of the eye for eye disease
  • Slit lamp biomicroscopy: External, detailed examination of the eye
  • Tonometry: Measuring the pressure of the eyeball
  • Optical Dispensing: Supply and management of spectacles and contact lens

Optometrists also develop and implement ways to protect workers’ eyes from occupational eye strain or injury. Other specialist areas include:

  • contact lenses
  • colour vision
  • vision therapy
