Guest Editorial 4 Optometry, Pediatric Eye Care, and Vision Therapy in Nepal

摘要

Only 15 years have passed since optometry emerged as a new profession in Nepal. The first optometry education in Nepal was started by the Tribhuvan University Institute of Medicine in 1998 in collaboration with the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The optometric profession in Nepal is highly indebted to the contribution made by Professor Madan Prasad Upadhaya, former dean of the Institute of Medicine, and Professor Leon Garner, Department Head of Optometry and Vision Science, for their contributions to the commencement of this program.
