Full course description
Description
This training explores advanced methods for assessing vision, including visual field tests, color vision testing, and cone contrast threshold testing. Topics include retinal structure, photoreceptor functions, and how specific diseases like macular degeneration and multiple sclerosis affect vision.
Target Audience
Ophthalmologists, optometrists, vision scientists, and healthcare professionals interested in retinal disease diagnosis and advanced visual assessment techniques.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this training, you will be able to:
- Understand how visual field and color vision tests evaluate different parts of the retina.
- Describe the function and distribution of photoreceptors, including rods and cones.
- Identify the clinical significance of cone contrast threshold testing in diagnosing diseases like macular degeneration.
- Recognize the impact of retinal protein mutations on vision and related hereditary diseases.
