Case Study: Dispensing Optics

Comments (0)

Produced for Future Morph, this short video looks at several students following opthalmic dispensing and contact lens courses. The students describe the work they are doing with lenses and how this relates to the science they learnt at GCSE level. It illustrates some of the career opportunities available in the eyecare industry.

Also included are some simple student activities, with accompanying teacher guidance, that illustrate how images are formed with lenses.
