| Objectives | The candidates should demonstrate knowledge, understanding and skills, and be able to discuss and refract patients in the most suitable way. Knowledge, understanding and testing skills should be demonstrated in the areas of: (1) different refractive states of the eye, (2) mechanisms of presbyopia, (3) anamnesis, (4) preliminary testing, (5) Objective static and dynamic refractive status, including automatic refractive device, (6) standard subjective refraction procedures, including astigmatic diais, crossed cylinders, stenopaic slit, fogging methods and equalization (duo chrome) techniques, (7) binocular subjective refraction procedures, including accommodation binocular balancing methods, (8) binocular subjective refraction procedures, including accommodation binocular balancing methods, (9) cycloplegic subjective and objective techniques, (10) automatic computer assisted subjective procedures, laser refraction and variations in procedures for the various ametropias. (11) identification, treatment and management using spectacle and contact lenses and prognosis (12) observation and recognition of clinical signs, and techniques and skills for determining the near add. |

satisfactory (1-2) You recognize the basic concepts of an objective refraction and know how to describe the basics of the study. You can talk to a client about a folding error and determine an objective refraction. good (3-4) You can describe and explain the basics of an objective refraction study. You can discuss folding errors with the customer and determine the objective refraction as required by the situation. excellent (5) You can describe and explain, based on theory, the basics of an objective refraction study. You can discuss folding errors with the customer in a variety of ways and you can determine the objective refraction as required and justify your decision. |
