The laboratory course deals with processing all types of ophthalmic material. 3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Fail term.
A continuation of 301*. 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory, Winter term.
Clinical techniques for the examination of the binocular relations of the non-strabismic patient, with particular emphasis on the 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. 3 lectures, 3 hours laboratory, Winter term.
A continuation of 305*, 1 hour tutorial, Winter term. 3 lectures.
A continuation of 306*. 3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Winter term.
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 color. Recent developments in physiological optics. 3 lectures, 3 hour 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 analysis and modes of treatment will constitute a large part of the course; the detection of strabismus and 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 vison can be attempted will be described and demonstrated. 3 lectures, I hour laboratory, Fail term.
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 accommodation and anaesthesia of the ocular surfaces; neurophysiology of the retina, sensory and motor pathways and the brain centres of the visual system. 2 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, Fall term.
A detailed study of the diseases which involve the eye and its related structures with emphasis on early recognition. Symptomatology, differential diagnosis. Evidence of systemic diseases as manifest in the eye. A study of headaches. 2 lectures, I hour tutorial, Fall term.
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. 1 lecture, 2 hours laboratory, Fall term.
