-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 A continuation of Introduction to Opticianry to include frame fit and adjustment, prescription analysis, visual acuity, resolving prisms, influence of vertex distance on prescription, and introduction to presbyopia. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours clinic)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 This course is designed to introduce the student to the most commonly used ophthalmic devices, and the physical make-up of these devices. This includes single vision lenses, spectacle frames, and bifocal lenses, with special emphasis on how these devices are produced. Also included is an introduction to fabrication of lenses, developing a basis for layout, blocking, grinding, and verification procedures. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)
-
3.00 Credits
Credits: 3 Surveys basic elements of geometric optics. Explores the basic theories of light, the electromagnetic spectrum, shadows and pinhole cameras, refraction at a plane surface, critical angle and internal reflection, lateral shift, apparent depth, prisms, mirrors, thin lenses and image formation. Emphasizes ray tracing and calculations. (Prerequisite: MATH 1110) (Combination lecture/lab)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 An introduction to the fitting of contact lenses, following the history of contact and the development of new contact lens materials. Advantages and disadvantages of these materials are outlined, as well as indications and contra-indications to contact lens wear. Emphasis is placed on the optical principles behind contact lens correction, and the introduction of basic skills with related instrumentation. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)
-
1.00 Credits
Credits: 1 Supervised fieldwork in a retail dispensary under a licensed optician, optometrist, or ophthalmologist. (320 total hours)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 A detailed study of the structures and functions of the eye and its adnexa, as well as an overview of common ocular pathologies.
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 A continuation of Ophthalmic Dispensing I to include the optical properties of spectacle lenses and their relationship to the patient's refractive error, the spectacle management of presbyopia, the spectacle management of high power prescriptions and prescription analysis. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours clinic)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 A continuation of Ophthalmic Materials I, stressing: multifocal lenses - bifocals, trifocals, occupationals, blended and progressives. Increased hands-on experience with lens edging, including insertion, removal, and bench adjustment or spectacles. ANSI standards applied to all lab work. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 Continuation of Contact Lenses I with increased attention to lens selection and design. Fitting philosophies of hydrogel and gas permeable contact lenses are put into practice, and follow-up care is stressed. Insertion, removal, and diagnostic skills are increased. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory)
-
4.00 Credits
Credits: 4 A continuation of Ophthalmic Dispensing II to include advanced prescription analysis, clinical astigmatism, fashion spectacle dispensing, aniseikonia, low vision care, clinical types of hyperopia, ocular injuries and emergencies, visual field anomalies, orthoptics, prosthetic eyes, ophthalmic instrumentation, and theory of refraction. (4 hours lecture, 3 hours clinic)
