It introduces the theory guiding these techniques, and develops the procedural and communication skills required to accurately, efficiently and safely perform these techniques. The unit develops your skills in the recording and interpretation of the clinical data obtained from these techniques to inform patient advice and management. The ability to accurately, efficiently and safely perform these clinical techniques in eye examinations is a requirement for clinical practice, forming the basis for assessment and management of patients in optometry practice.
