Description

This course provides a comprehensive exploration of gaming-related visual strain from an optometry perspective. Participants will study how prolonged exposure to screens and specific gaming environments can lead to symptoms of eye discomfort. The curriculum examines optometry techniques for assessing visual fatigue, understanding the effects of blue light, and recommending strategies to improve focus and comfort during gaming sessions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
