OPT-7106 Ocular Anatomy & Histology
Ocular anatomy and histology forms the framework for many of the biomedical aspects of primary vision care by presenting the gross and microanatomy of ocular tissues and fluids. The course provides the knowledge base in ocular tissue structure which enables the student to understand patho-physiological processes present in primary and secondary ocular diseases and congenital anomalies. Clinical correlates and case-based materials are an integral part of the course presentation. The course includes a laboratory component, which is designed to give the student an opportunity to reinforce classroom material through the utilization of anatomic specimens, as well as clinical slides, which reinforce the clinical application of the course.
