Education

Public health for eye care considers the eye health needs of a population and how services can be aligned to prevent blindness.

Our education programme covers a wide range of subjects and aim to provide an in-depth understanding of evidence and how to apply public health strategies for the prevention of blindness. ICEH courses are delivered in a variety of ways to meet the learning requirements for a wide range of participants including ophthalmologists, optometrists, allied eye health workers and other people with an interest in public health knowledge and skills to reduce blindness and visual disability in the populations they serve.

LSHTM provides a stimulating environment, enabling students to meet colleagues and experts from different countries, cultures and health systems. This experience is facilitated in-person on the MSc programme and online through the Open online courses and short course.
