OPT 121 Intermediate Optometry
Introduction to optometric examination techniques to include the theoretical basis for detection, diagnosis and management of refractive error and related conditions. Emphasis is placed on a consummate understanding of the etiology and functional basis of refractive error and visual anomalies as the basis for accurate and effective diagnosis and management. Monocular and binocular refractive techniques, lensometry, keratometry, retinoscopy, ophthalmoscopy. A case-based approached to the integration of data will be used to develop critical thinking skills and a practical use of data in development of diagnoses and treatment plans.
