Course objectives
Student will be able to do refractive error correction for various working activities after the finishing this course. Students is able to solve problems of increasing of vision effectiveness, e.g. by sport, by patients with asthenopia, he suggests also behavioural exercises, which can lead to improvement of inborn disorders of vision, improvement of accommodation a vergence functions and also improvement of eyeball motions.
