Objectives of the Course
|
This course aims to provide opticianry students with comprehensive and fundamental knowledge about the structural features and functions of the human eye. Within the scope of the course, students learn the anatomical components of the eye, intraocular structures, and the physiological processes of the visual mechanism. By understanding the fundamental principles of the optical system and the functional integrity of the eye, students gain the competence to accurately comprehend the underlying causes of visual disorders. In addition, through knowledge of eye anatomy and physiology, students acquire the necessary background for accurate assessment and appropriate selection of visual aids in opticianry practice, contributing to the protection and improvement of visual health.

Course Content
|
Orbit, eyelids and associated glands, lacrimal system, conjunctiva, retina, ocular chambers, extraocular muscles (rectus and oblique muscles), ocular nerves, and visual pathways. Cornea, tear film, aqueous humor, lens, vitreous body, retina, and the visual mechanism (electromagnetic spectrum, effects of light on the eye, dark and light adaptation, color vision, neural activity of the retina). Additionally, image formation mechanisms (refraction, refractive surfaces, refractive errors, accommodation) and extraocular movements (duction, version, vergence) are examined in detail.
