ORT2ORS
2020
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students will gain an understanding of the optical principles in relation to the refractive system of the eye. This subject integrates knowledge of the physics of light and the principles of physical optics with the ocular system, including its refractive errors and physiological defects. Emphasis will be placed on developing students' abilities to propose aetiologies of the various refractive errors and their respective management. The theoretical content and the clinical investigatory skills of vision assessment, lens measurement and optical prescription reporting are integrated via instrumentation sessions.
