With the programme of FOREC (Federation of Ophthamic Reserach & Education Centre) co-ordinating training at nearly 50 institutions in the country the programme is now seated to become a degree course (B.Sc., Ophthalmic Tehnique), in collaboration with Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). The Para Medical training, which is of such vital importance to our work and to the progress of ophthalmology in the country, is likely to take a revolutionary qualitative quantum leap. The course has been deliberately named as B.Sc.(Optometry) ophthalmic Techinques as the purpose is to produce a multidimentional worker to meet the needs of community and ophthalmic fraternity.
