Tutor:

Přemysl Kučera, Ján Lešták

Supervisor:

Department of Natural Sciences

Synopsis:

The course focuses on the examination of the visual functions of the eye. It explains the importance of individual examinations and their physiological nature. It also explains their changes in various ocular abnormalities.

Great emphasis is placed on the practical mastery and understanding of each examination.

Requirements:

Classified credit consists of successful completion of a written final test, The range of questions is provided to students in advance, includes the full range of material presented and practiced

Syllabus of lectures:

- Visual acuity tests: distance and reading, colour tests

- Binocular function: foria, heterophoria, heterotropia, diplopia and their examination, Schober test, Worth's lights, Bruckner test, cover test, Hering-Bielsch test

- Pupillary functions and their examination

- Dominance of the eye: directional and sensory and their examination

- Colorvocity and its examination, colorvocity disorders

- Visual field: examination and disorders, Amsler grid

- Contrast sensitivity and its disorders

- Critical confluence frequency and its examination and macular glare test

- Adaptation of the eye: to light, darkness and methods of examination

- Electrophysiological functions of vision: EOG, ERG, PERG, PVEP, MFERG, MFVEP
