Overview
What you will study
This Dementia-Friendly Eyecare program offered by University of Melbourne addresses learning needs we identified during our research about provision of eyecare for people living with dementia.
Optometrists told us that they wanted to know more about dementia, and how to adapt their approach to accommodate different levels of cognitive impairment. Addressing these learning needs helps optometrists provide high-quality eyecare to people living with dementia, maximising vision for daily activities to reduce falls risk and maintain independence.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- Dementia
- Communicating with people living with dementia
- Adapting eye examinations for people living with dementia
