time optometry diploma under the
50 Years leadership of Noel Verney, the new
head of the Section of Optometry.
Noel Verney was born in 1921 and
attended high school at Brisbane
Grammar School and trained as an
optometrist at the Central Technical
College in Brisbane before the Second
World War. During the war, Noel was
an aircraft navigator and was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross for his
service in Burma. Following the war,
he travelled to the United Kingdom to
further his optometry education. He
led the optometry school at QIT until
1980 and has had a lasting impact on

optometry in Queensland.

12 | Annual Report 2018 Celebrating 50 yearsThe QUT School of Optometry
and Vision Science offers the only
Optometry program in Queensland.
Our students are some of the brightest,
requiring an OP1 or equivalent to enter
and undertake a challenging five-year
program comprising the Bachelor of
Vision Science followed by the Master of
Optometry leading to registration as an
Optometrist in Australia. Our incredibly
dedicated academic staff and sessional
clinical supervisors have consistently
won teaching and professional awards.
In 2018 we introduced a new unit
into the first year of the program,
‘Foundations of Optometric Practice’,
reviewed our curriculum on cultural
safety and Indigenous knowledge,
introduced more online flexible learning
in ‘Research and Evidence-Based
Optometry’ and developed a student
peer support program.

to conscious, image-forming visual
perception (Zele, Feigl et al Scientific

with the cone pathways provide the
