- Are you entering into first year optometry or are you wondering what first year in optom looks like? This video is for you!
Have a good day today!
Extra things to add to this video:
1. Optometric equipment needs to be purchased (your university should send out an email to you about this) - can cost up to £250 depending on your uni for a new set including lens flippers, rulers, measuring tape, volk, scrubs, lab coats etc.
2. GOC registration for students needs to be complete - payment of £30 per year
3. Health DBS form is required - around £50 (I dont really remember)
4. Normal uni days can last from 3-4 hours including lectures, practicals, tutorials, group work. Maybe in uni 3-5 days a week.
5. Exams: some online, all modules have an end of year written exam, practical exams (with supervisor) some computer aided excel work, group coursework and lab reports.
6. Before you enter a practical: Always revise the practical before hand!
7. Dont feel lik,e you need to attend all lectures in person, you can do them online at your own pace if thats what you perfer (unfortunately some lectures can be uploaded online after a week or a few days).

Much needed video Thank you :)
Happy to help!
Thankyou so much for making this, it was really helpful. I was just wondering if you had to fully register with the GOC before you started the degree or if that registration was completed once the course began?
Hi! Im taking my gcses next year and was wondering what sort of grades you got at gcses and at a levels to get into optometry skl... also what made you decide on optometry? I love the idea of it but I kind of hate maths so I'm not sure if it's right for me
I have those videos on my channel! Be sure to check the university alevel and gcse requirements to get into optom esp the uni you want to go to. I love optom because even if it seems small prescribing glasses or contacts, it can have a huge impact on a persons day to day. I had to research the cons and pros and turns out it’s the best for me. The maths isn’t crazy like alevel maths, you’ve still got gcse style maths. Your lecturer will teach you, it’s not impossible to pass the maths. Plus there are many others that haven’t done maths alevel so don’t worry.
I howler his helps. You have lots of time to think about it! ❤️
Hi , im a student who will be taking GCSEs in 2024 and i need a bit of advice for alevels . I was just wondering what Alevels you need to get in to optometry? 😊
Hiii! It’s really up to you and what the university wants. What most univeristies require: two science subjects (Biology, Maths, Physics or Chemistry) normally to be taken in one sitting. Third option is up to you :)
@@khiaraisabelle Thank you !!!
heyy! i just got accepted at city but for introduction to optometry. im so excited but cant seem to find much information about the foundation year. do you have any information or tips? did you maybe know someone who did a foundation year or anything? the video was very interesting tho thank you!!
@@yuchenyu3717 omg ayeee, do you have any socials i can add you on? (:
Got an offer for the sake course aswell declined and decided to going ARU for a 4 year course personally I don't think the foundation year is worth it makes the whole process longer + 9k + your not guaranteed a spot for next year lime u have to meet certain requirements
your welcome! Congrats!!
I know a few people that have completed foundation year and they did enjoy it, it’s similar to first year in terms of modules but it’s slightly different in terms of exams. I heard that it’s breaks down the info a lot more compared to first year but I don’t know a lot about it.
thank youu! @@khiaraisabelle
Ahoj moc vám ty brýle pasují
Could u do a general advice or tips for uni??
Soon!
In year 1, when are the exams? Which dates roughly
It can vary but it’s mid May to mid June
do you get paid during the extended placement within year 3 & 4?
yes because you start working in an optician with the help of supervisors doing some clinical work and optical assistant work.
How much roughly can you earn in year 3 & 4 if you don’t mind me asking?
Dont have to say yours… just wanted a rough idea if possible.
Much appreciated
Hey, I’m taking a gap year to figure out the right career for me. What made you choose it and what wider reading and work experience did you do for your application?
Funny thing is I’ve come from watching your GCSEs video all those years ago to coming back to this!
Hello! Cool, I found a career in optometry through social media actually. I watched lots of videos and did some research into and found that it’s a career that best suits me. It was covid at the time of application so I didn’t have relevant workexperience in optics so I used any work experience and volunteering I had. As long as it relates to your course in terms of skills you can bring!
Hope it goes well :)
lol I took a gap year for same reason
Have you decided what your doing yet?
I acc decided on optometry for uni In the end. I’m still writing my personal statement… but i am also considering apprenticeships in accounting. Hbu?@@SilverbackA
Hey, can we put Dr in front of our name in optometer?
no not in the UK
@@khiaraisabelle ok
Would you recommend an iPad for optometry?
there are many pros to it! I love it because it’s super lightweight and easy to use rather than having bulks of folders and papers. We do have a lot to draw in optometry. Not everyone has an iPad so don’t feel like you need one, many people just use their laptop too!
I hope this helps :)
@@khiaraisabelle Thank you
i am looking to get a 2 in one laptop and ipad which one do u recommend or would u just recommend the ipad pro?
