Hey have any of you covered anything on the eyes at sixth form/college?
Not yet, but we do a little bit about the eyes in biology might be a few monta before we do though.
Can't speak for any other subjects; I only do maths and economics, not a lot to study there! (although I hear physics does lenses?)

Can a high street optician prescribe drugs or does the patient get reffered to a hospital...i.e. patient with glaucoma?
I knoww!! i'm looking at the Optom 2011 thread and looked what they said.. They got given maths questions like what's sin45... I just hope i know the questions.. lol They will put you under pressure though..
What subjects you doing btw?

Optometrist can prescribe drugs, Optician only fit glasses. A patient who is diagnosed with glaucoma by an optometrist can be referred to a hospital if needed..
