In this subject, students are introduced to the optical principles of the refractive system of the eye. The physics of light and the principles of physical optics are integrated with the ocular system, including its refractive errors and physiological defects. Emphasis will be placed on developing students' abilities to propose causes of the various refractive errors and their respective optical management. The theoretical content and the clinical investigatory skills of lens measurement, vision assessment and optical prescription reporting will also be taught.
