In responding to the needs of the Palestinian people, An-Najah National University added the Faculty of Optometry to its mimeteen existing Faculties in 2004. Today the Faculty has a total of 90 students and we are proud of the quality of instruction and the training experience that we offer to our students despite the insurmountable difficulties that we have been facing.

Since its establishment, the Faculty has been growing in its expectations and learning opportunities and we have made every possible effort to secure the most up-to-date equipment and labs for enriching the practical aspects of the learning experience so that they match the theoretical ones. We have succeeded so far in offering this unique and much needed sort of learning to our students who were not given such opportunities prior to the establishment of the Faculty at An-Najah National University. It is the only Faculty of Optometry in Palestine and is a Full member at the World Council of Optometry.

Aims:

• Offer a professional scientific education in Optometry for the students of Palestine.
• Offer a scientific and educational environment for researchers in Optometry.
• Offer a base to develop academic and professional experiences in Optometry.
• Offer medical treatment to patients in Palestine.
• Improve a professional and academic level of workers in the field of Optometry.
