Course objectives
Subject Refraction of the eye provides students with the knowledge needed to perfect orientation in the field of refractive errors of the eye and in all circumstances related to them. It immediately follows courses geometrical optics, instrumental optics and spectacle optics. In practice, students verify the acquired knowledge in exercises in the exam and optical laboratory at the Faculty of Masaryk University in Brno and ophthalmology departments or clinics. The aims are the comprehensive knowledge in the area of refractive errors of the eye and all circumstances related to them, including examination of refractive errors and their correction.
Syllabus
  • Introduction to Refraction of the eye. Eye problems of refractive errors. - Symptoms of low and high refractive errors. - Visual difficulties. Additional problems. Examination and treatment of refractive errors. - Refraction - Refractive eye system. Refraction of corneal surface. Refraction of lenses. - Reduced eye. Optical physiological defects: diffraction of light, chromatic aberration, chromatic difference of magnification, spherical aberration, decentralization, peripheral aberration, diffractive rings, stenopeic holes. Optical aberrations of the eye pathology, types of ametropia, the nature and incidence of refractive errors. - Anomalies of refraction - Hypermetropia: etiology, optical conditions, accommodation in hypermetropia, normal age-related changes, clinical symptoms and treatment. - Myopia: etiology, progression of myopia, pathological myopia, optical characteristics, clinical symptoms, prognosis and prophylaxis treatment. - Astigmatism: Etiology, types of astigmatism: regular astigmatism, symptoms and treatment , irregular astigmatism - types, symptoms , treatment . - Anomalies of accommodation. - Accommodation: excessive, spasm, impairment, difficulty, weakness and paralysis of accommodation and cycloplegia. - Anomalies of convergence - insufficiency, convergence excess - muscle balance. Binocular vision. – Ortoforias - properties, binocular vision. Heterophorias - etiology, types, symptoms and treatment. Heterotropia - etiology, the vision of the strabism, types and treatment. Amblyopia - Development of binocular vision. Spatial vision. Examination of visual acuity, glasses, ophthalmoscopy. - The importance of the ophthalmologic examination. Detection of near vision and distance vision. - Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Skiascopy
