| 0000CR79 | Ocular Pathophysiology and Clinical Ocular Procedures and Laboratory Tests (10 cr) |
| Prerequisites | N/A |
| Objectives | 1.1 Anterior segment disease (4 ECTS) 1.2 Posterior segment disease (3 ECTS) 1.3 Glaucoma (3 ECTS) 1.4 Clinical ocular procedures and laboratory test workshops (parts of 1.1-1.3): Examination Procedures: Advanced vision assessments: Pupil assessment Visual field assessment Advanced ocular eye health assessments: Advanced slit lamp biomicroscopy investigation techniques of anterior segment assessment - Contact tonometry – intraocular pressure assessment - Gonioscopy lens - anterior chamber angle assessment Pachymetry – corneal thickness assessment Slit lamp biomicroscopy illumination techniques of posterior segment assessment - Use of different kinds of non-contact fundus lenses - Use of different kinds of contact fundus lenses Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy techniques - Scleral indentation Ocular imaging study assessments: - Fundus camera assessment - Ocular coherence tomography assessment - Automated and semi-automated visual field assessments Referral to imaging studies - Virtual workshops: - Ocular fluorecein angiography |
| Content | This course will cover key aspects of the anterior segment disease, posterior segment disease and glaucoma at the advanced level for formulating a differential diagnosis, and making evidence-based management plans using appropriate therapeutic medications. Clinical vision; ocular imaging; advanced ocular anterior- and posterior segment assessment and procedure techniques will be taught and practiced in workshops. Instructors will discuss clinical assessments required in the decision-making process for prescribing treatments to manage ocular diseases and associated systemic diseases. A multidisciplinary approach to manage patients who require treatment for their chronic and/or acute conditions, and the need for appropriate referrals (i.e., laboratory investigations, ophthalmologist, and physicians, etc.) will also be discussed. |
| Recommended optional programme components | If necessary, the student advisor will recommend optional programme components for each student based on their individual study plan. |
