Goals for the Term

Solid base of knowledge
Comfort with Ocular terminology
 Basics of tissue structure & function

– At the end of the course you can give
yourself a 3D guided tour of the eye and
orbit within your mind’s eye.
Exam Schedule & Grading

Visual system Overview
Overview

When the structure seems
complicated , think FUNCTION
– Imaging : OPTICAL CLARITY
– Information processing: pathways,
adaptation
– Mobility: balance, strength, speed,
MECHANICS
– Biological System: respiration, pain,
protection
