Resistance, immunity, hypersensitivity. Diseases caused by physical agents other than microorganisms. Principal diseases affecting each organ system. Epidemiology. 3 lectures, I hour laboratory.
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; optical and ophthalmic instruments. 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory. fall term.
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 studv of the various methods of clinical analy-

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. 3 lectures. 3 hour laboratory.
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. Ilecture,2 hours laboratory.
