  Opiskelu tapahtuu täysin verkossa. Pääasiallinen opiskelu tapahtuu viikoilla 43-50 (19.10-13.11.2020), annetun viikkorytmin mukaisesti.
  
  Opiskelija perehtyy viikottain eri esteettömyyden aiheisiin: Videot, osoitettu kirjallisuus ja artikkelit sekä itsenäisesti hankittu materiaali ja aineisto. Näiden teorialähteiden pohjalta tehdään erilaisia soveltavia oppimistehtäviä.
  
  Opiskelua rytmittää viikoittain annettavat oppimistehtävät eri ESTEETTÖMYYDEN teemoilla, joista tehdään joko monivalinta"kokeita", kirjallisia tehtäviä ja/tai keskustellaan MOODLE -oppimisympäristössä pienryhmissä. Joka viikolla tehdään "uusi sivu" oppimispäiväkirjaan, joka kotaan yhdeksi kokonaisuudeksi viimeisellä viikolla, kun opintojakson on saatu päätökseen
  VIIKKOAIKATAULU:
  • 1. TEEMA viikko 43: Johdanto ja opinnon aloitus

  Learning outcomes of the course

  Students are able to describe the main features of the history of contact lenses. They know the structures and functions of the eye relevant to the use of contact lenses as well as restrictions on their use. Students can classify the main characteristics of the different lens materials and describe
  the influence of the lens design on their optics and application. Students are able to evaluate the benefits and limitations of contact lenses as a vision correction. Students are able to determine the signs, symptoms and management options for contact lens complications. They know how to use the grading scales in assessing the anterior eye, and can identify indications and contraindications for the use of contact lenses based on the preliminary examination. Students can clean and care for contact lenses, and they know the most common contact lens solutions and their active ingredients. Students are able to choose the suitable lens type, soft or rigid, for their customer, as well as insert and remove contact lenses safely. They can assess the fit and suitability of soft contact lenses, and give appropriate instructions on how to use and care for the lenses.

  Further information for students

  In case a student has a decision on special support arrangements affecting the course the student needs to contact the teacher in charge right after enrollment period.
  PRACTICALS:

  Satisfactory

  The student can communicate in their most typical general and field-specific professional situations in working life. The student can write simple texts with a reasonable amount of consistency. There may be errors, but the message comes across nevertheless. The student takes part in simple interaction, but often needs help from other speakers. The student is comfortable with everyday vocabulary and the vocabulary of their own field, but inaccuracies and the influence of other languages may make it difficult to get the message across. The student uses the commonest basic structures in a one-sided way and sometimes incorrectly. The student can pronounce understandably but not like a native, and the slowness makes it difficult to assess how well the message may get across.

The student is able to write a text with coherent content, getting the message across, and is proactive in interaction in common situations in the field. The student is reasonably fluent in basic vocabulary of their field and general language. Word choices may sometimes be inaccurate and the sentence structures imperfect, butthese do not interfere with the communication. The student pronounces understandably, and pauses in the flow of speech do not prevent the message from getting across.

  Excellent

  The student can communicate in versatile and demanding general and field-specific professional situations in working life. The student can write clear and detailed text in a way that is suitable and accurate for the situation.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  Students are able to describe different mechanisms of action for drugs and understand the basics of the pharmacokinetics. They are able to name the main categories of drugs and their characteristics. Students have the basic knowledge on ocular drugs and their use, mechanisms of action and possible side effects. They can apply their knowledge to the use of diagnostic drugs as optometrists.
  Students can describe the most common eye diseases, their signs, symptoms and treatments. After completing an external and internal examination of the eye, students can detect the most common eye diseases and refer their customers for further examination or treatment. Students can provide First Aid for general and ocular injuries. Students are able to describe the benefits, disadvantages and risk factors of various refractive surgery techniques.
  After completing the course, students can measure the visual fields and examine the posterior retina using ophthalmoscopic techniques. They can explain the principles of direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy and visual field examination equipment, as well as identify physiological and acceptable measurement tolerances. Students are able to use diagnostic drugs in their examinations appropriately and safely.

  Detailed content, practical work:
  The basic skill and knowledge is acquired to examine the peripheral retina using a 20-30D lens with direct ophthalmoscope. The students are also introduced the headband BIO technique. Basic skill is ensured in pachymetry and in Goldmann applanation, and “air puff” non-contact - tonometers, ICARE-tonometer is used routinely.

  Learning outcomes of the course

  Students can apply various methods to assess vision problems in aging adults and low vision. They can prescribe and fit corrective optical appliances and low vision aids if necessary. Students are able to describe effects of aging, ocular disorders and systemic diseases on vision and visual functioning. Students can analyze problems caused by low vision and find solutions for them. They can assist customers in using their residual vision and show empathy towards customers. Students can justify the significance of community planning from the perspective of functional ability and accessible environment.

  Prerequisites and co-requisites

  Ocular Health Care Examination

  Course contents

  Physiological aging changes in vision, the definitions, prevalence and causes of low vision, eye examination for the low vision patient, prescribing and fitting low vision aids, eccentric viewing techniques, orientation and mobility, guiding visually impaired persons, rehabilitation services and legislation regarding visually impaired persons, community planning and accessible environment.

  *Concomitant and comitant deviations: specific symptoms and double vision, intermittent and constant deviation
  *Suppression: evaluation
  *Binocular refraction with fogging method.

  *Typical asthenopic symptoms in deviations and accommodation problems: anamnesis
  *Cases: treatment and management of the binocular vision problem patient including the classification, analyze of the AC/A, Sheard and Persival criterions, horisontal and vertical prism, Fresnell, spherical power lenses and vision therapy, problem oriented response (management/ spectacles) to anamnesis, descriptive and ICD 10 patient recording.
  *Vision therapy: theoretical background, motor and sensory activation, plan and management to alleviate the symptoms, physiological diplopia as a suppressio control
  *Vision therapy in the accommodation problems: exercises (Near-far jump, Brock-string, push-up, flipper)
