This Course introduces the eye’s optical system and its relationship to the anatomical structures of the eye. The students will learn different types of refractive errors and their management, and proper implementation of diagnostic tools, used in the management of these refractive conditions.
1. Myopia
2. Hypermetropia
3. Astigmatism I –Simple
4. Astigmatism II –Compound
5. Aphakia and pseudophakia
6. Presbyopia
7. Prismatic corrections
8. Anisometropia
9. Near point and far point
10. Refractive consideration of near & far point
The major outline of the course will cover
▪ Ametropia, discussion of types, significance and etiological factors
▪ Introduction to the process of accommodation
▪ Discussion of accommodation and convergence relationships
▪ Presbyopia and the optical provisions for Presbyopia patients
