/ lecture, winter term.
201.* Physiological Optics. The eye as an optical instrument. The refracting mechanism; accomodation, pupil action and lid action; the passage of light in the eye; stray light in the eye; analysis of the retinal stimulus pattern.
3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, fall term.
202.* Introduction to Clinical Optometry. Lectures on the clinical techniques for the examination of the optical properties of the eye. Included will be:—measurement of the visual acuity, theory and practice of retinoscopy, ophthalmoscopy, keratometry, subjective sight testing, measurement of amplitude of accomodation, and calculation of reading addition. A laboratory course in which these techniques will be demonstrated and practised will run concurrently.
OPTOM 204Anatomy of the Eye and Associated Structures
Detailed study of the eye and adnexa. The study of gross, microscopic and ultrastructure of the eye and associate structures. Embryology and comparative anatomy are included.
3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory.
300.* Binocular Relations of the Non Strabismic Patient. Clinical techniques for the examination of the binocular relations, with particular emphasis on study of the relationship between accommodation and convergence. Techniques of phorometry, prism vergence tests, relative accommodation tests, dynamic retinoscopy, and monocular and binocular cross cylinder tests.
Description and analysis of eye movements, the innervational systems of the intraocular and extraocular muscles; visua! pigments; photoreception; electrical phenomena of the retina, visual pathways and cortex; light sensitivity; the psychic correlates of retinal stimulation.
History and manufacture of glass, manufacture of ophthalmic lenses, design of ophthalmic lenses, classification and performance of ophthalmic lenses, problems and solutions in fitting ophthalmic lenses to the eyes. The laboratory course deals with processing all types of ophthalmic material.
A study of disease processes as they are found in the various organ-systems of the body, including inflammation, degeneration, neoplasia, hypersensitivity, physical agents other than microrganisms causing disease, principal diseases affecting each organ system, special study of headaches. The properties of pathogenic mocroorganisms and the specific disease with which they are associated are studied. Resistance immunity, antigen antibody reaction, problems presented by the contagious diseases are also considered.
3 lectures, | hour laboratory.
306.* Advanced Geometrical Optics. An extension of geometrical optics given in Physics 236 dealing with the optics of surfaces, prisms, thin and thick lens systems including the eye, aberrations of such systems and their correction; optic and ophthalmic instruments.
The sequence of testing in the clinical examination will be outlined. Stress will be on case history, tests of integrity of the visual system, tests of the refractive properties, and tests of binocular relations and the integration of these tests into a satisfactory clinical sequence. Interpretation of the data and a study of the various methods of clinical analysis and modes of treatment will constitute a large part of the course; the detection of strabismus and the techniques for testing the sensory and motor characteristics of the strabismic patient; the aim will be to allow the student to evaluate the likelihood of achieving a cure by non-surgical means; techniques of orthoptics and visual training by which a rehabilitation of vision can be attempted will be described and demonstrated.
Binocular Vision and Visual Perception. The binocular sensory system; binocular integration and interaction; effects of disparate stimulation; perception of size, shape, direction, distance, motion, time, complex patterns and colour. Recent developments in physiological optics..
The lecture course will deal with the problems involved in preparing ophthalmic materials. The laboratory course will give the student experience in working with lenses and frames as he prepares ophthalmic materials for clinic patients.
Vascular supply; physiology of the cornea and lids; formation, supply and drainage of the ocular fluids; intraocular pressure; metabolism of cornea, lens, vitreous and retina; effects of drugs producing miosis, mydriasis, cycloplegia, spasm of accomodation and anaesthesia of the ocular surfaces; neurophysiology of the retina, sensory and motor pathways and the brain centres of the visual system.
A detailed study of the diseases which involve the eye and its related structures with emphasis on early recongnition. Evidence of systemic disease as manifest in the eye. Symptomatology and differentiation.
2 lectures, 1 hour laboratory.
407.* Optometrical Specialties. A series of lectures and labs on special techniques of clinical examination and of handling the visual problems encountered in optometric practice. These include: contact lenses, subnormal vision aids, aniseikonia, pediatric optometry, biomicroscopy and gonioscopy. 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory, winter term.
The student is assigned to the Visual Analysis Clinic and, under the direct supervision of optometrists of the clinic staff, carries out routine clinical investigations of patients who attend the public clinic.
Each student is required to complete 60 hours of clinical practice during the summer term. Times will be arranged by the student with the approval of the clinic staff.
432.* Light and Illumination. Light sources; transmitting and reflecting surfaces; principles of radiometry and photometry; colour specification; colorimetry and classification of colour defectives; illumination and other factors involved in the design of the visua] environment.
The lecture portion of this course will deal with special techniques of clinical optometry for examination of refractive properties and binocular relations; techniques of binocular refraction, prism adaptation, etc.; seminars and the presentation of clinical case reports by the student for defense and criticism will constitute a part of the course.
Consideration will be given to the individual student’s special interests. Assignments will include preparing for seminars on topics of interest, reviews, library and laboratory researches by individuals or small groups.
A continuation of the fourth year course in optometrical optics.
2 hours laboratory.
School of Optometry
504.* Genetics. A brief review of Mendelian genetics, and the molecular basis of modern genetics. Inherited conditions of particular interest, e.g., color vision, albinism, aniridia, refractive error, retinoblastoma, etc. Genetic counselling, and the detection of carriers.
Lectures on laws governing the practice of optometry in Canada and on laws relating to the rights and responsibilities of the optometrist in his relations with his patients; the establishment and management of optometric practice; economics, taxes, insurance, accounting, office design, mode of practice, professional organization and societies.
The role of optometry in providing vision care to society and the community. Optometric services to industry, in schools, the role of vision in the safe operation of highway vehicles and airplanes, as well as the role of optometry in private and government programs of vision care and health insurance.
This program is divided into a number of clinics in order to facilitate clinical instruction, to make the most effective use of time and clinic space, and to maintain a high quality of service to clinic patients. Each patient who attends the clinic is first seen in the visual analysis clinic. Patients will be referred to the other clinics as features of their cases dictate.
22 hours clinic.
