Ocular Anatomy and Physiology (OD)

A deep understanding of ocular anatomy and physiology is essential for anyone pursuing a career in eye care. This subject explores the development, structure, and function of key ocular components, including the orbit, extraocular muscles, eyelids, tear film, cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. Students will learn how these structures work together to support vision and how disruptions can lead to eye diseases. Real-world clinical examples will help connect foundational knowledge to practical applications, keeping learning engaging and relevant to future optometric practice.
