“Personally I get a lot out of the NZ Optics magazine. I particularly find the articles regarding certain conditions and their management very useful and often from a different ophthalmic perspective than we are used to. Because the articles are from leaders in their fields, the information is up to date and relevant and is a good way to keep our knowledge base as current and accurate as possible.
“It is also great getting an insight into the optical industry and the goings on as we prepare ourselves to graduate at the end of the year,” said final year student, Alex Petty.
Part 4 Student Representative, Preshodin Thaver, surveyed approximately one third of the class on what they read first.
“Everybody I spoke to reads the Eye on Ophthalmology and Point of View articles as well as the other pathology related articles. Most of us work part time in an optometry practice and have accessed these articles for some time now,” he said.
Preshodin commented that the general consensus was that almost everybody appreciated the fact that they could keep up to date with what’s happening in the industry.
“I do believe that Essilor’s and NZ Optics’ initiative for us to receive the magazine plays a key role in introducing us to Optometry outside of University,” he said.
