Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to expand students' theoretical knowledge and practical skills, particularly in the area of modern approaches and methods used in the examination, diagnosis, and, where appropriate, management of selected diseases, and to familiarize them with the relevant diagnostic instrumentation and equipment. The selection of topics focuses on diseases in which an optometrist can play a significant role in primary detection or in subsequent care provided at specialized clinical facilities. These include, in particular, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataract, and ocular manifestations of certain neurological disorders.
