Learning objectives
The course aims to enable the student to learn and understand through lectures and interactive practices, the principles of instrumental examination of the eye, the correct use of contact lenses, and the different options of refractive surgery. It also provides the basic elements for the interpretation of these information in order to gain the ability to use the knowledge and understanding on their own.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
The student at the end of the course, using the knowledge of anatomy and physiopathology previously acquired, must demonstrate knowledge and understanding the new information.
The student also applying the knowledge and understanding acquired, shall be able, even collaborating with other professionals, to be able to exploit the new expertise their own.
Prerequisites
