  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:
