Organization profile

The OCULUS Project is a consortium of educators from optometry schools in Europe (Norway, UK, Spain, and the Netherlands). Its aim is to reform optometric education in Israel and India towards European standards. This means greater employability and job mobility for graduates, and a reduction in blindness and vision impairment due to better-trained optometrists. OCULUS is a multinational project together with India. It is coordinated by Hoggskolen I Sorost Norge in Norway. Find out more about the OCULUS Project here.
