| Objectives | Theoretical competencies: I am able to: Demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and skills and be able to detect and manage patients presenting with abnormal ocular conditions affecting: Ocular adnexa; lachrymal system; Conjunctiva; Cornea; Sclera and episcleral; Anterior uvea (iris and ciliary body); Papillary, accommodative, and refractive pathology; orbit; anterior chamber, angle structure, and IOP; Lens; Peripheral fundus and vitreous; optic nerve and the optic nerve head; Fovea; Sensory neuro-visual pathology, and oculomotor neuropathology. Clinical/practical competencies: I have: The ability to interpret and investigate the presenting symptoms of the patient; The ability to develop a management plan for the investigation of the patient; The ability to identify external pathology and offer appropriate advice to patients not needing a referral; An understanding of risk factors for common ocular conditions; The ability to recognize common ocular abnormalities and to refer when appropriate; The ability to manage a patient presenting with a red eye; The ability to manage a patient presenting with reduced vision; The ability to identify an abnormal color vision and to appreciate its significance. The ability to manage a patient presenting with cataract; The ability to evaluate glaucoma risk factors, detect glaucoma, and refer accordingly; The ability to manage a patient presenting with macular degeneration. The ability to recognize, evaluate and manage diabetic eye disease and refer accordingly; The ability to evaluate and manage a patient presenting with symptoms suggestive of retinal detachment; An understanding of the treatment of a range of common ocular diseases; The ability to recognize manifestations of systemic disease. An understanding of the role of the optometrist in shared care schemes; The ability to assess symptoms and signs of neurological significance; The ability to manage patients presenting with sight-threatening eye disease; An ability to recognize adverse ocular reactions to medication. I’m able to demonstrate knowledge, understanding, and skills, and be able to discuss and undertake examinations of patients using investigative techniques in the areas of: Patient history; Basic neuro-ophthalmology examination; Slit lamp examination of the external and internal eye; Pachymetry (contact and non-contact); Tonometry (contact and non-contact); Direct ophthalmoscopy; Monocular indirect ophthalmoscopy; Binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy; Gonioscopy; Lacrimal system evaluation; Fundus evaluation with different ophthalmic instruments (including but not limited to OCT, SLO, FAF,etc); Macular electrophysiological examinations; Quantitative perimetry, and Use of diagnostic drugs in the eye examination. |

| Recommended optional programme components | If necessary, the student advisor will recommend optional programme components for each student based on their individual study plan. |
| Accomplishment methods | Clinical and Practical skills* - Competency-based assessment Grading Scale: Pass/Fail - Lab assignments and tests must be passed. Simulated patient care* - assignments. Grading Scale: Pass 60%/ Fail <60%. Background theory Multiple choice question examination* including image recognition (eye abnormality) - questions and cases. Grading Scale (of points) 0 = <60% (Does not meet the standards) 1 = 60-65% (Marginal) 2 = 66-70% (Marginal) 3 = 71-79% (Good) 4 = 80-89% (Good) 5 = >90% (Excellent) (*Forms 100% of the final grade). |
