- Educational objectives
- The general objectives of the Physical Techniques for Optometry with Laboratory 2 course are:
- provide the student with the ability to prescribe in presbyopic subjects
- provide tests and procedures that are used to analyze accommodation capacities
- provide tests and procedures that serve to analyze the differences
- understand the link between accommodation and convergence
- know the mechanisms of motor and sensory fusion and how to evaluate binocular vision
- know the heterophoria and the tests for its evaluation
- know the disparity of fixation and the tests for its evaluation
- provide the student with the ability to prescribe for proximal activities to non-presbyopic subjects
- learn how to recognize and categorize binocular vision abnormalities
- provide the student with hints on the enhancement of visual functions through visual training
- provide the student with the ability to choose the most suitable solution taking into account all the previous visual information. - Prerequisites
- None
- Teaching methods
- The course is articulated in
1) Theoretical lessons
2) Laboratory activities - Learning verification modality
- Oral test to ascertain: i) the ability to understand the theoretical contents of the course (Dublin descriptor 1), ii) the ability to expose and correctly apply theoretical knowledge (Dublin descriptor 2), iii) Ability to autonomously formulate appropriate judgments and observations on possible alternative model (Dublin descriptor 3), iv) the ability in effective and pertinent written communication (Dublin 4 descriptor).
- Extended program
- Prescription to the near point; assessment of accommodative functionality and associated anomalies; fusional vergences and associated anomalies; AC / A ratio; Binocular vision analysis; Heterophoria and unequal fixation; Outline of optometric visual training; Solutions and prescriptive rules.
