VC 141 - Assisting and Refraction Lab Credit Hours: 2
This laboratory course provides practical application of knowledge acquired in VC 140. Students build proficiency in the operation of ophthalmic assisting and pre-testing instrumentation. Hands-on training includes tonometry, visual field testing, retinal photography, auto lensometry, and automated refraction.
Course Outcomes Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- capture, save, and retrieve high-resolution digital retinal images utilizing the fundus camera;
- measure and record intraocular pressure with the use of a non-contact tonometer;
- determine refractive error with automated refraction testing utilizing simultaneous cross cylinders;
- conduct auto lensometry; and
- perform standard white/white kinetic perimetry using an automated visual field system.
Prerequisites: VC 140 S (N)
