Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2020-21

La asignatura de Optometría III se imparte en el primer semestre del tercer curso del Grado, perteneciendo a la materia Optometría y Contactología. La asignatura de Optometría III posee un estrecho vínculo con el resto de asignaturas de la materia.

Para poder cursar adecuadamente esta asignatura son necesarios los conocimientos y habilidades que los alumnos han debido adquirir en las asignaturas previas de Fundamentos de Optometría, Optometría I y Optometría II. Los conocimientos previos sobre cómo realizar un examen refractivo así como las diferentes pruebas que analizan el sistema acomodativo y vergencial, son básicos para el estudio del diagnóstico y tratamiento de las diferentes disfunciones de la visión binocular no estrábicas que se abordan en esta asignatura de Optometría III.


Esta asignatura es un pilar básico en la formación del futuro óptico-optometrista al marcar las bases necesarias para desarrollar las habilidades necesarias en el manejo de cualquier anomalía visual binocular que pueda presentar un sujeto. Sus conocimientos son necesarios y básicos para realizar la evaluación diagnóstica de las disfunciones generales de la visión binocular, así como conocer las distintas opciones y toma de decisiones en el tratamiento de estas disfunciones. Los conocimientos adquiridos en esta asignatura permitirán al estudiante saber diferenciar estas anomalías de las disfunciones binoculares estrábicas y específicas que se abordarán en la asignatura de Optometría IV.
