No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1981–82 to 1981–82 (before that, 1968–69 to 1980–81 used the number for Physiology of the Visual Systems); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The neural processing of colour, brightness, movement and form by the retina, lateral geniculate, cortex, superior colliculus and other brain centres. Neural mechanisms underlying binocular depth perception, accommodative response and eye movement.
As printed in the 1981–82 calendar, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.

Another title: Physiology of the Visual Systems, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
The physiology of the smooth muscles of the eye, the extraocular striate muscles, the lacrimal apparatus, the cornea, the iris, the lens, the ciliary body and the vitreous body. Production and drainage of aqueous and related influences on intraocular pressure. The vascular supply of the eye.
Prereq: Optom. 224*. 2 lect., 2h. lab., Fall term

Another title: Physiology of the Visual Systems, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
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.
