Judith Hameiri | Optometry (B.Optom), 2022

The studies were interesting and fruitful. We learned about retinal diseases, visual therapy, glaucoma and more

Two decades have passed since graduating with my bachelor's degree, in these years I gained extensive experience as an optometrist. Recently I decided to return to academia and I enrolled in the Master's of Optometry and Vision Sciences at Hadassah College in Jerusalem.

Yes, Jerusalem! Every Tuesday (almost), I woke up at five in the morning and went to Jerusalem for a full day of practical and theoretical coursework, returning to Rosh Pina late at night. It wasn't an easy challenge, but with determination and willpower, I succeeded.

Now that I completed my studies, I opened a clinic in Rosh Pina that specializes in fitting unique contact lenses for complex conditions including keratoconus, high corneal cylinders, and irregular corneas. I also plan to offer myopia management services in the near future.
