Anatomy and Phys of The Eye ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will build from a basic overview of human anatomy and physiology to a specific focus on the anatomy and physiology of the eye. Emphasis will be placed on embryological development of the eye, exploration of the normal structure and function of ocular tissue and their interrelationship with other systems and how the eye relates to contact lenses. Considerations will be given to anatomical abnormalities and pathophysiology of the visual system. Laboratory demonstrations will include: eye dissection, examination of pathological processes, visual testing and visual perception experimentation. This course is open only to students in the Vision Care Technology Program.
