After seminars a student has knowledge about:
- Ocular examination techniques (ocular history, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, fundus examination, tonometry, gonioscopy, color vision, electrophysiological tests, perimetry) and imaging techniques (fluorescein angiography, ultrasonography, optical coherence tomography, imaging in glaucoma, neuroimaging).
- Refractive errors (myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism, presbyopia, aphakia) and methods of correction: glasses, contact lenses. Corneal and refractive surgery.
- Most common diseases of cornea and orbit – diagnostics and treatment.
- Diagnostics and treatment of uveitis and glaucoma.
- Identification and procedures in retinal vascular diseases (hypertensive disease, diabetic retinopathy, retinal venous and arterial occlusive disease).
- Diagnostics and surgery of cataract and retinal detachment.
- Acquired macular disorders and fundus dystrophies.
- Diagnostics and treatment of ocular tumors.
