Visions: Eyecare Clinic Training Australia's Best

The state of the art clinic in Melbourne's Swanston Street provides the one of the largest full-scope training clinics in the Southern Hemisphere for students in the current Bachelor of Optometry program or the forthcoming Doctor of Optometry, the first doctor of optometry program in Australia.
