Learning Objectives
- 1.1 • Explain behavioural optometry & the role and clinical skills of the behavioural optometrist • Express the role of optometric management of learning related vision problems • Practise effective management of patients requiring vision therapy • Recognise the signs and symptoms of learning-related visual issues
- 1.2 • Discuss their knowledge of basic eye anatomy • Describe details of the Visual Process • Illustrate the components of an Optometric Vision Examination • Know the effects on visual function of ocular problems.
- 1.3 • Explain basic details of ocular physiology • Review overall connections of the visual pathways • Repeat the salient points in a vision examination • Relate various vision assessment components to the particular area of the visual pathway
- 1.4 • Explain their knowledge of Visual Development • Demonstrate the concepts of Primitive reflexes, • Recall the sequence of developmental milestones • Review the hierarchy of child development
- 2.1 • Illustrate a working knowledge of vision therapy techniques suitable in the treatment of certain visual conditions or deficits in visual skills/abilities • Describe the roles and differences of various eye movements • Explain the role and details of visual attention in terms of control, accuracy & automaticity • Express the roles of eye movements in learning
