The evaluation criteria are available to all students.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

He/she will be able to use the acquired knowledge in order to:

• to make use of the simplest diagnostic methods of ophthalmological examination as well as therapeutic applications
• to have the resources to seek the correct assessment and settlement of the urgent eye problem (treatment by him or direct referral)
• to organize the examination steps of a patient with ophthalmological symptoms
• to broadly approach the acquired knowledge so as to be able to correlate the ocular pathological finding with the manifestations of other systemic diseases
• to collaborate with his fellow students to research and analyze the international literature or to deal with a special subject in order to present it at a scientific event

B. CLINICAL PRACTICE (IN GROUPS)-EXTENDS TO THE 9th AND 10th SEMESTER (Mandatory)

6 mandatory hours of skill development and examination of outpatients and inpatients by specific groups of students with a scheduled specialist instructor /per group/ per training day of clinical practice

In the hours of clinical practice by groups (skills) with a designated instructor, the following is taught:
1. Slit-lamp examination of normal eyes with the help of the team instructor
2. The technological equipment is demonstrated and its use is briefly explained
3. Visual acuity test for all ages, choral reflex test, contrast visual fields, color perception test, oculomotor test, demonstration of intraocular pressure test
4. Analysis and demonstration of drug administration methods in ophthalmology
5. Practice instilling eye drops, eye dressing, eye wash and eyelid inversion
6. Patient examinations (history taking, complete ophthalmological examination) with the participation of students, step by step
7. Instructor-assisted live slit-lamp examination of cataract and anterior hemisphere disease cases via a digital camera attached to the slit-lamp as well as demonstration of anterior hemisphere pathology cases from the digital camera archive.
8. Follow-up of digital fluoro angiography, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and fundus digital angiography (OCTA), analysis of disease-demonstrate normal from database
9. Training on how to deal with and manage an ophthalmological emergency
10. Training in the examination of the fundus with direct ophthalmoscopy and dilated pupils (among students) as well as in dilated patients.
11. Visual field performance group monitoring-normal display from database
• The above detailed skill development topic is delivered to the students at the beginning of the semester on a special card in which the instructor and their attendance are certified by the participation of each student (logbook).
• On-call: students are trained to approach ophthalmological emergencies
• Monitoring of surgical cases takes place in the operating room, where students watch live operations from a monitor connected to the surgical microscope. A member of the surgical team takes over the explanation of the steps of the operation.
