The clinical observation period provides the students the opportunity to continue to develop confidence and increased skill in diagnosis and management. Students will demonstrate competence in beginning, intermediate, and advanced procedures in the above areas. Students will participate in advanced and specialized treatment procedures. The student will complete the clinical training by practicing all the skills learned in the classroom and clinical instruction. The students are expected to work for a minimum of 6 hours per day and this may be more depending on the need and the healthcare setting. The clinical observation will span one year / two semesters this will include 6 hours of practice a day.
The ethical codes contain guiding principles. These serve to help practitioners in their decisions and practice by a set of standards that are expected of a healthcare practitioner. Beneficence is striving to do well and to do the best for every patient. This recognizes that a practitioner has a duty of care to every patient and that paramount is the objective to do good so that every patient leaves the practice in a better state than when they entered, or at the very least, not in a worse condition. This requires balancing the risks and benefits of treatment and making decisions that will optimize the benefits and minimize the risks of harm. Respect for autonomy requires a practitioner to respect the choices and decisions that a patient makes about his/her health. This involves keeping the patients informed of their condition, treatment choices, and options so that decisions made are based on pertinent facts. Justice entails being fair to all patients in a way that transgresses legal justice. It includes deciding how much time is spent on a patient, how many and what types of resources are devoted to the treatment of that patient, and how this compares to the time and resources distributed to other patients.

BEHAVIOURAL OPTOMETRY INVOLVES AN UNDERSTANDING OF VISION AND HOW IT IS DIFFERENT FROM EYESIGHT. EYESIGHT SIMPLY INVOLVES SEEING AN EYECHART ON THE WALL, WHILE BEHAVIOURAL OPTOMETRY IS MORE INTERESTED IN VISION.VISION INCLUDES SHARPNESS OF SIGHT AT DISTANCE AND NEAR; ABILITY TO AIM AND FOCUS THE EYES PROPERLY ESPECIALLY FOR NEAR VISION TASKS SUCH AS READING AND COMPUTERS; THE ABILITY TO SUSTAIN FOCUS FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME FOR READING AND COMPUTERS; TRACKING THE EYE MOVEMENTS FOR READING FLUENCY AND ACCURACY; PROCESSING OF THE VISUAL INFORMATION EACH THE EYES TAKE IN; AND OF COURSE HEALTH OF THE EYES INSIDE AND OUT. ALL PATIENTS CAN BENEFIT FROM THE MORE HOLISTIC APPROACH, BUT IT IS ESPECIALLY SUITED TO THOSE WITH EYE MOTOR CONTROL PROBLEMS, LAZY EYES, DEVELOPMENTAL DELAYS, ACQUIRED BRAIN INJURIES CONCUSSION, OR DELAYS IN LEARNING TO READ, OR PROBLEMS READING TO LEARN. ALTHOUGH THE MAJORITY OF BEHAVIOURAL OPTOMETRISTS' PATIENTS ARE CHILDREN, BEHAVIOURAL OPTOMETRY MAY BE SUITABLE FOR PATIENTS OF ANY AGE.
