COURSE GOALS:
Introduce
the role of eye movements in optometric primary care.
Binocular
eye coordination and interactions with accommodation .
Oculomotor
manifestations of CNS disorders.
REQUIREMENTS:
•
one midterm exam (February 10)
•
one non-comprehensive final exam (March 10)
•
2 quizzes (- Jan 25 and Feb 24)
•
three lab reports (each due one week after the lab)
GRADING:
The
final grade will be approximately 2/5 of the midterm exam, 2/5 of the final
exam, and 1/5 of the quizzes. Two
short 10 min quizzes.
Lab reports must be completed to pass the course
and they are evaluated pass/not-pass.
If a lab is evaluated as not-pass, it must be rewritten. Lab material will be included on the
exams.
