Learning outcomes |
Application of optometric techniques in clinical situations in a real context, namely at the Clinical and Experimental Center for Vision Science and at UBIMedical, where students must demonstrate knowledge and apply and develop communication and practical skills. Develop critical thinking and skills in the decision-making process of basic optometric situations, particularly in terms of anamnesis, objective and subjective refraction examination, and study of non-squint binocular vision in young adults.
