Straight answers to the questions candidates ask most before applying.
Ask Us DirectlyAll programs are open to qualified optometrists (B.Optom / M.Optom / equivalent). The Residency and Fellowship require a recognised optometry degree. The Observership also welcomes international candidates and ophthalmology residents seeking exposure to clinical vision therapy.
Residency batches are capped at 4-6 students. This is deliberate - small batches ensure every case is personally reviewed by experts, every question receives a direct answer, and your clinical growth receives genuine mentorship rather than generic instruction. We believe this is the only way to produce truly competent clinicians.
The next batch is scheduled for August 2026. Admissions are currently open. Given the small batch size, seats fill quickly - we recommend applying at least 2-3 months before the start date. Contact us to check current availability and reserve your seat.

Several trainees have found comfortable PG and service-apartment options within walking distance. Our team will help you with recommendations upon enrollment.
