Paediatric Ophthalmology and Optometry
1600-Opm22OODZ-2
The lectures will present the various stages of the development of vision as well as the methods, possibilities and limitations of optometric examination of children of different ages.
The main aim of the exercises is the practical use of the knowledge gained during the lectures. Particular attention will be paid to the ability to conduct a specific optometric interview in children of various age groups, as well as the use of basic and complex measuring devices used in examining the visual system in children. An important element of the exercises will be the analysis of the presented cases. The exercises will also emphasize the role of empathy in contact with a visually impaired child.
