Certified Vision Screening (CVS) Course

With the development and wide usage of electronic gadgets, our eyesight and vision problems have become serious. From the establishment and development of
ophthalmology (eye specialist)  center in the past five years, we have felt that the current medical capacity can no longer bear the increasing numbers of patients.

The relevant screening reports and records in the past have not kept up with the changes of the times.

Therefore,  Malaysian Optical Chamber of Commerce (MOCC) initiated a course with UTMSPACE (UTM - School of Professional and Continuing Education) to train 10,000 to 30,000 Certified Vision Screeners (CVS)  to provide the latest data to our National Eye Database. As this is a long-term project, we aim to train 10,000 to 30,000 qualified screeners within 3-5 years, to provide the necessary data to complete the report.

The type of Screenings include how to identify myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, optic nerve problems, cataract, glaucoma, strabismus, color weakness, color aberration, color blindness etc.

We welcome all volunteers in Malaysia, with healthy eyesight, to participate in this great project. While gaining self-knowledge and skills in eyesight and vision, you are also contributing to the society and our country
