- The main objective of the course is to provide students with the basic knowledge to understand the pathogenesis of ocular eye diseases, the methods of evaluating ocular structures and the best diagnostic strategies. Particular attention will be paid to changes in ocular motility and to the management of low vision.
The main skill that the course aims to convey is the knowledge of the main pathologies of the visual apparatus, knowing how to suspect them and being able to refer the patient to the specialist, contributing with him to the prevention of ophthalmic diseases. - Prerequisites
