- Educational objectives
- The course aims to provide the fundamental and indispensable knowledge for the choice and design of the most suitable contact lenses in relation to the problems, objectives and expectations of their user. This training will make use of the skills in the use of all the necessary equipment, physical and digital, to achieve the application objective.
The teaching process, also including a practical part, aims to transmit the mastery required in the management and resolution of practical problems, through the knowledge of the most appropriate geometric and / or material changes, aimed at improving the final result.
Another aspect of the training will be related to the correct relationship not only between applicator and wearer, finalized to avoid complications related to the use and / or maintenance of contact lenses, but also to interdisciplinary professional relationships with other specialists in the ophthalmological and non-ophthalmological field. - Prerequisites
