Course objectives
The aim of study is anatomy of the eye: cell structure, histology of the ocular tissues, anatomical parameters of the eye, fibrous tunic, vascular tunic, internal tunic of the eyeball, compartments of the eyeball, visual pathway, visual cortical centers, blood supply to the eye, innervation of the eye, supporting and protecting parts of the eye. Embryology of the eye: stages of human eye development, stages of different ocular tissues and accessory organs of the eye development, congenital anomalies of the eye, hereditary ocular disorders.
