OPHT 2327 - Retinoscopy/Refractometry

OPHT 2350 - Ophthalmic Procedures I  

OPHT 2312 - Ophthalmic Optics  

OPHT 2223 - Introduction to Ocular Disease  

OPHT 2310 - Clinical Applications I  

Course Description:
This course will introduce students to the principles and techniques of retinoscopy and refractometry measurements with emphasis on skill development using various retinoscopes. Principles and techniques of spectacle fitting and adjustment and low vision concepts will also be included.

Student Learning Outcomes:

• Upon completion of this course, students will be able to accurately determine a patient’s refractive error through the performance of retinoscopy and refractometry in the designated cylinder power and effectively communicate the findings to the patient.
• Upon completion of this course, students will be able to apply their knowledge of optics, refractometry, spectacle principles, and low vision concepts to solve patient refractive problems in clinic.
