Judith Hameiri | Optometry (B.Optom), 2022

Two decades have passed since graduating with my bachelor's degree, in these years I gained extensive experience as an optometrist. Recently I decided to return to academia and I enrolled in the Master's of Optometry and Vision Sciences at Hadassah College in Jerusalem.

Yes, Jerusalem! Every Tuesday (almost), I woke up at five in the morning and went to Jerusalem for a full day of practical and theoretical coursework, returning to Rosh Pina late at night. It wasn't an easy challenge, but with determination and willpower, I succeeded.

Now that I completed my studies, I opened a clinic in Rosh Pina that specializes in fitting unique contact lenses for complex conditions including keratoconus, high corneal cylinders, and irregular corneas. I also plan to offer myopia management services in the near future.
