ODS-7412 Vision Science and Perception 3 with Laboratory

The purpose of Vision Science and Perception III (VS & P 3) is to guide student study of the anatomical, physiological and functional aspects of the visual system and to continue to introduce clinical and research methods and techniques in visual physiology and general psychophysics to elicit data from human observers. VS & P 3 builds upon concepts covered in VS&P 1 and 2 to introduce measurement of light and how we perceive light and color and their application to clinical practice. A summary of psychophysical measures applicable to optometry as well as an overview of the development and changes in visual skills covered in VS & P 1-3 will conclude this course. VS & P 3 also serves as a foundation for the vision science of amblyopia and binocular vision in VS & P 4.
