Course objectives
At the end of this exercise a student will be able to understand and to apply knowledge of the eye anatomy, structure of the cell, histology of the eye tissues, parameters of the eye. The student defines and right interprets terms, which are connected with tunica fibrosa, tunica vasculosa, tunica interna, inner space of the eyeball, visual pathway, brain visual centers, blood and nervous supply, helping and protecting organs of the eye. Integral part of this subject is knowledge of the eye and inborn eye diseases.
