The learning objectives of the course are the acquisition of knowledge of the physiological and psychophysical bases of vision and the clinical knowledge of visual function by examining the refractive aspects. During the course, the students will acquire the skills to be able to: use the tools for the objective and subjective examination of binocular vision and the refractive state of the eye; organize the initial discussion between the subject examined and the professional .

William J. Benjamin, Borish’s Clinical Refraction, Second edition, Butterworth, Heinemann, Elsevier,2006Modalità Frequenza
According to the University's Didactic Regulations, the teaching mode is defined as “conventional”, which implies that lectures are mainly held in person. However, online (or distance) attendance is permitted, where lectures are followed via the Teams digital platform. The video lecture is live, the student follows in real time (synchronous).Modalità Valutazione
The assessment will consist of an oral examination designed to test understanding of the topics covered in the course.
