This module is the second Ophthalmology and Optics module of the programme.
On successful completion of this module students will have developed the ability to refract patients and perform ophthalmological examinations using the slit lamp biomicrosope. Students will have also developed knowledge of interdisciplinary working and be able to critically evaluate relevant policy in relation to the development and enhancement of orthoptic roles.
The module will be delivered via practical clinical sessions on campus to learn how to refract and undertake ophthalmological examinations relevant to optometric, ophthalmological, and extended or advanced orthoptic roles.
The theoretical content will be delivered via interactive tutorials which are underpinned by asynchronous learning activities delivered via the University’s online learning platform.
The module is assessed via a practical examination which takes place on campus and an assignment in the form of a personal development plan. The Assessment Strategy has been guided by the UoL hallmarks and attributes outlined in the Education Strategy Vision for 2026 (C2021).
