Course objectives
The student is already able to apply his/her theoretical knowledge in practice at the orthoptic workplace of LF MU. The aim of the exercises is to perform separate diagnostic procedures, to independently design the procedure and to perform pleoptic - ortoptic exercises.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion, the student will be able to: • - practically apply the knowledge about the distribution of individual therapeutic procedures according to the nature of the dissociation of binocular vision, according to the optical circumstances (dissociation in instrumental and real space) and, where possible, their home use • - practical application of the principles and implementation of pleoptic methods based on limitation of the dominant eye and methods of developing (stimulating) vision of the amblyopic eye and procedures for normalization of eccentric fixation • - practically apply the principles and the implementation of orthoptic methods aimed at the treatment of the motor and sensory component of binocular vision and their mutual synkinetic integration
Syllabus
  • Exercise is the dominant component of teaching. It is multicentric and individually at the orthoptic workplaces of LF MU. In the final block of practical lessons, the complex procedures of pleoptic and orthoptic exercises will be repeated. Students already perform pleoptic and orthoptic exercises independently under the supervision of an orthoptist at a given workplace. • Practical lesson in exercises: • Performance reporting to health insurers • According to the documentation for recommendations for further investigation • Patient Education • Orthoptic status • Lancaster, Hess's Shield, Ryba's Board • Pleoptophore, euthyscope, centrophore • Diploscope, Remy's separator, Amblyoscope • Fokometer • Pleoptic exercises • Orthopic exercise
