Course objectives
At the end of this course a student will be able to understand structure of the human cell, histology of the eye tissue, parameters of the eye. The student will be able to explain and to interpret terms tunica vaculosa, tunica interna, inner spaces of the eyeball, visual pathway, visual brain centers, blood and nervous supply of the eye, helping and protecting organs of the eye. The student works with information from embryology, it means developing stages of the eye and accessories organs, inborn anomalies, hereditary of the eye diseases.
