Attendance at the lectures is not mandatory but is strongly recommended, considering that the contact lens discipline is characterized by the high dynamics of knowledge, which means that the contents reported in the publications must sometimes be reconsidered and argued during the lecture. In this regard, the possibility of attributing a 10% increase to the evaluation obtained in the written exam is considered, which is preparatory for admission to the oral exam
