Ophthalmic science is a fundamental area of optometry, as the majority of problems dealt with in optometry require optical solutions. Students are introduced to the theory and practice of some essential techniques required to examine patients' eyes and assess visual functions. The aims of this unit are to provide students with an advanced understanding of concepts of ophthalmic optics and some objective techniques for the evaluation of visual function, and to allow students to develop some basic skills in dispensing optics.","title-full":"OPB453 Ophthalmic Science 2","title-short":"Ophthalmic Science 2","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=OPB453&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=OPB453","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=OPB453"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
