Description

  1. Understand the anatomy of the eye and orbit, including bones, nerves, and key structures.
  2. Describe the extraocular muscles and their roles in controlling eye movements.
  3. Explain the light reflex and accommodation reflex, including their neural pathways.
  4. Understand the visual pathway, from the retina to the visual cortex, and its clinical relevance.
  5. Explain the principles of refraction, factors affecting visual acuity, and common refractive errors.
  6. Learn the basics of eye examination, including visual fields, pen torch tests, and fundoscopy.

Summary

Join our engaging Year 2 Teaching Part 1: Foundations of Ophthalmology session. Gain comprehensive knowledge of eye and orbit anatomy, intricate understanding of eye muscle function, and discover the importance of light and accommodation reflexes. Master the complexity of the visual pathway from retina to visual cortex, with insights into their clinical relevance. Enhance your understanding of how refraction works, how visual acuity can be affected, and familiarize yourself with common refractive errors. The session also provides practical training on eye examination techniques. Equip yourself with these critical skills and knowledge for an effective eye care practice.

Learning objectives

  1. By the end of this session, learners will be able to identify and describe the key anatomical components of the eye and its supporting orbital structures, and understand their relationships and functions.
  2. Learners will be proficient in understanding the roles of the extraocular muscles in controlling eye movements, and be able to name and describe the function of each.
  3. Participants should be able to illustrate the physiological mechanisms and neurological pathways of light reflex and accommodation reflex and their relevance in ophthalmology.
  4. Learners will be expected to understand the visual pathway from the retina to the visual cortex, and its clinical applications including diagnosing related vision disorders.
  5. Upon completion of this session, learners should be able to explain the principles of refraction, understand the factors that can impact visual acuity, describe common refractive errors and their possible corrections.
  6. By the end of this session, learners will be introduced to the basic steps of an eye examination, including the procedures for visual field testing, pen torch tests, and fundoscopy, and understand the practical application of these procedures.
