It is important for optometrists to have a comprehensive knowledge of prescription drugs used in the management of eye disease, be able to develop evidence-based treatment plans, and assess the outcomes of treatment. Also optometrists should understand the framework of legal and social and ethical governance within which therapeutic practice operates. This unit aims to integrate your knowledge of eye disease and ocular pharmaceutical agents to allow you to legally, safely and effectively develop treatment plans for your patients in optometric practice. The unit emphasizes an evidence-based and practical approach to therapeutic management of eye disease.","title-full":"OPN261 Therapeutic Management of Eye Disease","title-short":"Therapeutic Management of Eye Disease","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=OPN261&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=OPN261","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=OPN261"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
