This module will build on knowledge and skills introduced in the first year of the degree programme. The module will provide opportunity to further develop fundamental clinical techniques including history taking, preliminary examinations, refraction, slit-lamp, ophthalmoscopy and record keeping, and begin to integrate these techniques into a basic ophthalmic assessment routine in preparation for the third year of the programme.
 The module will also consider factors involved in real-world visual performance including lighting, visual standards and occupational requirements such as eye protection, VDU use, colour vision and driving.
 This module will also develop the concept of Optometric practice in the wider community, considering the public awareness of ‘eye health’ and the necessity for regular assessments, and consider the use of eye-care strategies in the community.
