The role and the scope of optometry and its relationship to other professions and the community. This course provides extensive knowledge about the structure of the human eye and adnexa starting from the anterior segment, going through the visual pathway to the posterior segment. Detailed anatomy and physiology of each structure is given from theoretical and clinical perspectives. In addition, this course describes the vascular and nerve supply to various structures of the eye and gives a basic understanding of the function of each structure from a physical perspective. The practical part of the ocular anatomy and physiology course is designed to extend the student's knowledge acquired during the lectures. Eye models will be used to help the students learn about the structure of the human eye and adnexa starting from the anterior segment, going through the visual pathway to the posterior segment. Foundations of normal binocular status of the eye, as a basis for subsequent course in orthoptics. The ocular motor systems and the laws relating to them are detailed in terms of normal neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. Etiology, pathogenesis, signs, symptoms, differential diagnosis and management of diseases that may affect the anterior segment of the eye The course addresses the cognitive and perceptual aspects of vision including theories of brightness perception, color vision, contrast sensitivity, spatial and temporal resolution, recognition of pattern and form, and the perception of flicker and motion. Indications and contra-indication for contact lens wear.Factors influencing lens selection and design, principles of fitting and evaluation rigid and hydrogen soft contact lenses, physio-chemical and mechanical properties of contact lens material, optical and mathematical concepts, the ocular physiological response to contact lens wear, and the care and maintenance of contact lenses. The course deals with the practical aspect of contact lens fitting, hard and soft toric contact lenses. This 8 Optometry clinics (1) 9 Optometry clinics (2 10 Research project 11 Community eye care 12 Special topics in optometry includes calculations, fitting principles and assessment of lens fit. Moreover this course focuses on the detection and management of chronic and acute complications induced by contact lens wear, in addition, to lens maintenance and care regime. Contact lens management options for special conditions such as dry eye, aphakia, presbyopia, keratoconus and other corneal irregularities are also discussed. The course also discusses alternative management options of refractive errors including orthokeratology and refractive surgery. Concerned with the development of clinical skills by direct interaction with patients in the optometry clinics and hospitals. These skills include diagnosis, assessment and management of refractive error, binocular imbalance, Pupil reaction anomaly, tear film assessment and some common eye diseases also learning the use of direct ophthalmoscope, Slit lamp and Tonometer. This course applies the theoretical and clinical skills acquired in previous years The second semester continues the practice and development of the knowledge and skills in the clinic with expanded content including evaluation of ocular imbalances and management. Health assessment is expanded with emphasis on recognition and referral protocol of suspected sight threatening disease. Cases from the clinic are selected for their content and usefulness in presenting conditions that illustrate conditions that the practicing optometrist is likely to encounter Teaching modern research methods and undergo practical or theoretical project supervised by one of the faculty members. The project will be presented and discussed which will develop the student skills. Students will be introduced to consideration of the needs of the community as a whole. Community awareness, how to contact school screening programs and gathering statistics. Discusses the latest development in the field of optometry in term of management, business, diagnoses of diseases and latest management options. This course includes special topics in optometry that are not covered in any of the courses available in the curriculum.
