- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Optics and Optometry (programme LF, B-SZ)
- Course objectives
- At the end of the course, students will have sufficient theoretical background required for profession of optometrist. Student should be able to recall principles of human body functions in detail - from a cell level, across particular organs to a complex human organism. Students will be able to explain relationships among chemical, physical and biological factors of living processes. An essential aim is that students acquire critical scientific thinking, ability of independent text analysis and fundamental information selection.
