The results obtained may be useful in the revision of the current curriculum.[Methods]: A three round Delphi study was carried out with the participation of 116 participants grouped in 7 panels. In the first round, competencies were identified through an open-ended question and their frequency calculated. In the successive 2nd and 3rd rounds, the consensus and stability of each competency was established.[Results]: A total of 56 professional competencies were identified, with 43 of them (77%) achieving a consensus among participants, of which the highest scores were obtained by the competencies that correspond to health functions of primary visual care. Out of the 13 competencies without consensus, for 11 of them this was due to the significant differences in assessment among the consulted participants; for 8 competencies (14%) response stability was found, while neither consensus nor stability were reached in 5 (9%) of the identified competencies.[Conclusions]: The results obtained with this Delphi study provide a set of relevant competencies for updating the curriculum of the university Degree in Optics and Optometry at the University of Valladolid, improving its suitability to current and future professional reality.ElsevierConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]2023202320232023info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/337132reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
