Corso di laurea in Ottica e Optometria

"The student should have acquired and have knowledge of:
- Recognition of ocular indices and parameters useful for the selection of contact lenses
- Theoretical knowledge and practical skills in inserting and removing any type of contact lens
- Theoretical and practical knowledge of management and maintenance for every type of contact lens"

Provide the student with:

• The ability to evaluate and assess all types of contact lenses
• The skill to verify the adequacy of the choices made in complex cases
• The planning of scheduled management protocols for each type of contact lens

 

Students must demonstrate they have acquired:

• Skills in evaluating rigid corneal contact lenses and problem-solving ability
• Skills in evaluating scleral contact lenses
• Skills in evaluating orthokeratology lenses
• Ability to monitor the effects of contact lens wear
• Ability to evaluate and manage contact lenses in complex cases such as corneal dystrophies, binocular vision disorders, high ametropia, dry eye, aphakia, and presbyopia"

Clinical evaluation of all types of contact lenses.

Scheduling check-ups and monitoring the effects of contact lens use.

Management strategies for complex real clinical cases

Practice lessons with theoretical material.

48 hours, 100% mandatory.
Exam can be done with 75% of presence for important reasons.

Verification of theoretical knowledge through a written test and oral/practical discussion on how to perform the assessment of all types of contact lenses and discussion on strategies for managing real clinical cases.
The exam consists of a compulsory written test and an oral test, which can only be accessed after passing the written test.
Written test: 6 open-ended questions (estimated time: 1 hour)
Oral test: assessment of the ability to clinically evaluate all types of contact lenses in complex cases. Finally, the student's ability to propose strategies for managing complex real clinical cases is assessed.
The final grade is expressed in 30ths and is the result obtained from the evaluation of the written test plus the oral test.
