Optometry & Orthoptics

Hi, I'm planning to apply for Orthoptics through UCAS and as you know u can apply for up to 5 applications but unfortunately there are only 3 universities in the UK that offer orthoptics. So, can you guys suggest what 2 other uni or courses I should apply? Or any other suggestions?

I did think of applying the 2 leftovers for optometry but with that being said I need to talk about both orthoptics & optometry. If that's the case, can you suggest how I can put those two together in my personal statement as both courses are related to the eyes but are actually different in terms of specialising in them.
