Psychology PhD

Hi everyone.

I have a question I hope one of you learned people can answer as Google has not been able to help me..
Firstly, was wondering if I would be likely to get onto a vision related PhD in a Psychology dept without a psychology undergraduate qualification. I have high A level grades in the 3 sciences and a 2:1 Bsc in optometry and visual science. I am now 40 having worked as an optometrist and doing certain consulting roles, but I have always liked the idea of doing a PhD and possibly going into academia. I was also wondering if I did ultimately want to work in a university Psychology department would I also need to have done a masters conversion in psychology or would a vision science BSc and PhD be enough?

Thanks.
