    Description
    This course covers the anatomical and physiological functions of the eye and its associated structures. Emphasis is on normal vision and common disorders of the visual system. In addition, students will learn material related to the physiological developmental stages from pediatrics to geriatrics, and its relation to refractive errors. Topics also include accommodation, eye movements, anomalies, common and special surgical procedures and basic pharmacological agents. This course has a math emphasis, which will require basic calculations.
