Everything You Need to Know

Straight answers to the questions candidates ask most before applying.

Ask Us Directly

All 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 Vision Therapy Institute - a unit of Caring Vision Therapy & Neuro Rehabilitation Center, recognized and accredited by affiliated international bodies. Your certificate carries the institutional credibility of 17 years of clinical leadership and internationally credentialed experts.

Yes. We have hosted candidates from Sri Lanka, Malaysia, the UAE, and the UK. International candidates are especially welcome for the Observership program, which offers a flexible schedule designed around travel constraints. Contact us to discuss visa requirements, program timing, and customisation options for your country's clinical context.
