This is a three weeks blended learning course on Physiology of Vision to understand the functioning of our eyes.
The course will cover the following topics:
Topic-1- Functional Anatomy of eye
Topic-2- Optics- Image forming mechanism
Topic-3- Colour vision
Topic-4- Visual pathway and visual cortex
Topic-5- Photoreceptor mechanism-mechanism of phototransduction
Topic-6- Processing of visual signal
Course objectives:
Describe and discuss the functional anatomy of eye, physiology of image formation, colour vision, refractive errors, physiology of pupil and light reflex
Photoreceptor mechanism- structure of photopigments, mechanism of phototransduction
Describe and discuss the Physiological basis of lesion in visual pathway
Demonstrate the test of visual acuity, colour vision and field of vision
Course outcome:
It is a blended learning course consisting of core videos of short duration on the topics given and supplementary materials in the form of video and text materials. Discussion forum and assignments will be given to enhance and grade the knowledge of the learner.
