Corso di laurea in Ortottica ed Assistenza Oftalmologica

To provide students with a thorough overview of neurophthalmology, explaining them the basics of neurophthalmology and the rationale of the different tests employed in studies dealing with their field of interest (orthoptics, ophthalmology, and visual reabilitation). An additional aim is making students able to design and carry out a neurophthalmological examination.

At the end of the course, students should be able:

- to report the concepts explained during the lessons by using adequate technical language

- to correctly interpret the results of the neurophthalmological tests commonly employed in the everyday

clinical practice.

- to know the different neurophthalmological techniques commonly adopted in vision research

- to evaluate and judge a neurophthalmological survey, critically interpreting the neurophthalmological data.

- to devise a neurophthalmological test within a clinical (real) or theoretical problem-solving

framework.

The course is structured as 12 hours of classroom lessons, characterized by strong teacher-students

question-and-answer interaction.

Oral examination. The examination of each student will be scored as "failed" or "passed" with 18/30

up to 30/30 with honors.
