We don’t produce certificate holders - we produce clinicians who transform patient care from their very first week in practice.

Straight answers to the questions candidates ask most before applying.
Ask Us DirectlyAll programs are open to qualified optometrists (B.Optom / M.Optom / equivalent). The Residency and Fellowship require a recognised optometry degree. The Observership also welcomes international candidates and ophthalmology residents seeking exposure to clinical vision therapy.
Residency batches are capped at 4-6 students. This is deliberate - small batches ensure every case is personally reviewed by experts, every question receives a direct answer, and your clinical growth receives genuine mentorship rather than generic instruction. We believe this is the only way to produce truly competent clinicians.
The next batch is scheduled for August 2026. Admissions are currently open. Given the small batch size, seats fill quickly - we recommend applying at least 2-3 months before the start date. Contact us to check current availability and reserve your seat.
Accommodation is not provided by the academy, but we actively assist outstation candidates in finding suitable options near the clinic in Ashok Nagar, Chennai. Several trainees have found comfortable PG and service-apartment options within walking distance. Our team will help you with recommendations upon enrollment.
Upon successful completion, you receive a Certificate of Completion from Caring Vision Therapy Academy - a unit of Caring Vision Therapy & Neuro Rehabilitation Center, recognized and accredited by affiliated international bodies. Your certificate carries the institutional credibility of 16+ years of clinical leadership and internationally credentialed experts.

Clinicians across India share how Caring Vision Academy transformed their practice - and their patients’ lives.
The Residency gave me clinical depth I couldn’t find anywhere else in India. I now manage complex binocular vision cases with full confidence - something I truly couldn’t do before joining.
After the Fellowship, I introduced vision therapy services in my clinic. Within 6 months I had a full VT caseload. The hands-on training with real patients made all the difference in the world.
Expert faculty, real patients, world-class diagnostic equipment - Caring Vision Academy is in a different league. The Fellowship program transformed how I assess and manage binocular vision disorders.
I came for the Observership thinking it was just a short exposure trip. It completely changed my perspective on what optometry can be. I went back to Kochi and built a dedicated VT room within three months.
Working with paediatric patients during the Fellowship was eye-opening. The faculty never rushed my learning. I now run a paediatric VT clinic in Ahmedabad with a 3-month waiting list.
The neuro-optometry module during the Residency was unlike anything I encountered in any textbook. Seeing TBI patients improve week by week under supervision gave me clarity on what this specialty can achieve. Truly life-changing.
Limited seats per batch ensure personal mentorship and maximum clinical exposure. Secure your place early.
