The 1st optometric students' e-magazine in Africa by a group of doctors and optometry students.

02/11/2026

The optometry we study and practice today is the result of research, findings, and discoveries. And that is the way to keep it going: RESEARCH.

And there is no research without a literature review. What is known, what are the gaps, and what should be done.

The October edition of Optometry Mails Magazine is an asset that every individual in the eye health sector should keep close. Download and read it for FREE here:

YOUR EYES DON'T ACTUALLY SEE THE WORLD THE WAY YOU THINK THEY DO.

Look at a chair from the front.
Now look at it from the side.
Change your position completely and yet, you still recognise it as a chair.

How does the brain do that?
The answer lies in the incredible journey of visual information from the eye and retina, through the optic nerve, to the visual cortex and higher visual areas.

In our latest edition of Optometry Mails, we explore “How the Brain Interprets Shape and Orientation” and uncover how the brain transforms patterns of light into edges, orientations, shapes, objects and meaningful spatial relationships.
Because a shape is more than just a collection of lines.

This edition takes you beyond the question of “How do we see?” and into the fascinating question of “How does the brain make sense of what we see?”

🚨 IT’S HERE! | OPTOMETRY MAILS
— ISSUE 51 👁️
We often say that "I saw it with my eyes.”
But seeing is far more complex than simply having functioning eyes.

The journey from light entering the eye to a meaningful visual experience involves an intricate network of neural pathways and specialised areas of the visual cortex.

In this edition, we take a closer look at “The Role of the Visual Cortex in Seeing”, how different areas of the cortex contribute to the processing of light, contrast, edges, colour, movement, depth, spatial location, and form.
Because the eye may capture the image, but the brain is where vision truly comes alive.

This edition is officially out and is a good read for you! 🎉
