The aim of the course in Ophthalmology is to allow students of the School of Medicine and Surgery to acquire the theoretical, scientific and professional knowledge in the field of anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical practice, diagnostics and therapy for eye diseases.
At the end of the course students must be able to correctly diagnose the most important pathologies of the visual apparatus, thanks to the study of the signs and symptoms associated with them.
In addition, students will focus their study on the most modern diagnostic technologies in the field of Ophthalmology, to arrive at a more refined diagnosis and set a therapy as precise and personalized as possible.

knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the eye

The students will receive regular lectures in classroom that will initially focus on the anatomy and physiology of the eye and subsequently on the diagnosis and treatment of the most important ocular diseases.

To assess the knowledge acquired during the ophthalmology course, students will take an oral exam focusing on the topics covered in class. Questions focus on the diagnosis and treatment of major ocular diseases. Students must be able to discuss the topic and connect and analyze the various subjects. Furthermore, students must have a basic understanding of the general concepts of ocular physiology and pathophysiology.
The final grade is expressed as 30/30, with 18/30 being the minimum score and 30/30 the maximum score.

The material used for the lectures and exercises will be shared electronically.
