4.00 Credits
This course is a review of basic mathematics. Emphasis is on problem-solving strategies and applications, as well as computational skills needed for success in algebra and college-level courses. Topics include fractions, decimals, ratio and proportion, percent, signed numbers, measurement and geometric figures. Basic algebraic concepts are integrated throughout the course. Successful completion of OCAD 0700 ensures placement into OCAD 0800, MATH 1050, MATH 2500 or CSCI 1060. You are referred to this course based on your results on the mathematics/statistics placement assessment. See Summary of Financial Procedures for pricing information. Offered under the S/U grading option only. (Note: OCAD credits are not applied to graduation credit requirements.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course is appropriate for you if you have a sound background in basic arithmetic but have not been exposed to algebra, or if you need to strengthen your basic algebra skills. Topics may include properties of real numbers, order of operations, linear and quadratic equations, exponents, polynomials, graphing and systems of linear equations. Successful completion of OCAD 0800 ensures placement into MATH 1050, MATH 1070, MATH 1080, MATH 2500, ECON 2200, ECON 2250, PSYC 2050 or CSCI 1060. You are referred to this course based on your results on the mathematics/statistics placement assessment. See Summary of Financial Procedures for pricing information.

-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces you to ophthalmology, including the role of the ophthalmic technician, duties and responsibilities of the ophthalmic technician, basic ocular examination techniques, measurement of visual acuities, basic lensometry, identification and usage of ophthalmic equipment, maintenance of ophthalmic examination lanes and special testing areas, ethics and privacy and confidentiality (HIPAA).
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces the structure and function of the human visual system including globe, orbit ocular adenexa, conjunctiva, cornea, iris, pupil, angle structures, ciliary body, crystalline lens, vitreous, retina, optic disc, optic nerve and visual pathway.
-
2.00 Credits
This course introduces principles of physical optics in which light is treated as part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and whose properties may be explained by waveforms as well as particles. Examines wave and particle theory, polarization, interference, fluorescence, and lasers. Introduces geometric optics and the behavior of light in various media, ray tracing to examine refraction, reflection, diffraction, dispersion, lenses and mirrors. Discusses object-image relationships, magnification, and graphical analysis of lenses. Introduces spherical and spherocylindrical lenses, optical crosses and astigmatism.
-
2.00 Credits
This course examines the human eye as an optical system by discussing physiology of image formation, optical relationships of eye structures, accommodation and effects of aging, refractive errors, astigmatism, amplitudes, prisms and Prentice's Rule, and basics of retinoscopy and refraction. It will familiarize you with contact lenses including types, fitting procedures, care and storage procedures, indications for use, complications and patient instruction, spectacle dispensing, ordering and verification.
-
2.00 Credits
This course includes detailed explanations of the various ophthalmic pharmaceutical products, indications for their use, sites of action, side effects, dosages, proper instillation of agents, and abbreviations used for medications and their schedules.
-
2.00 Credits
This course includes anatomy and function of extraocular muscles for eye movements, measurement of normal and abnormal eye movements, abnormalities in neurological control of eye movements, normal and abnormal binocular vision, and evaluation of motor and sensory status.
