Optometry involves knowledge from multiple fields such as biology, physics, chemistry, psychophysics, and medicine. Traditional undergraduate education in optometry mainly focuses on knowledge transmission and lacks interaction, resulting in low student interest and unsatisfactory teaching outcomes. In order to improve this situation, the teaching team of Department of Optometry and Visual Science, West China School of Medicine, Sichuan University proposed a method of integrating real visual experiences into teaching. By combining multimedia tools and existing methods, real visual phenomena and personal visual experiences are integrated into the curriculum. This new teaching method stimulates students’ interest in learning, increases classroom interaction, promotes knowledge understanding and application through vivid visual phenomena and students’ own visual experiences. This article will introduce the above teaching method.
