OPT-7424 Neuro-Ophthalmic Disease 3

The Neuro-Ophthalmic Disease Course Series builds on the foundation laid in the Head and Neck Anatomy, Neuroanatomy, and Neurologic Examination Courses. This course series consists of 3 courses which take place in the Fall and Spring terms of the second year (NeuroOphthalmic Disease 1 and 2, respectively) and the summer of the third year (Neuro-Ophthalmic Disease 3) of the traditional OD program. This course series covers the clinical application of the neuroscience, anatomy and neuroanatomy principles learned in previous courses. This course offers students the opportunity not only to apply those important basic science concepts clinically, but to learn how to properly examine, diagnose, and treat patients with neuroophthalmic manifestations. Specifically, this course, Neuro-Ophthalmic Disease 3, takes concepts learned in NOD 1 and NOD 2 about the afferent and efferent visual systems, and applies them to systemic and neurologic diseases and conditions.
