Course Name : Ocular Microbiology and Pathology

Code(Credit) : OPTO(3-0-1)

Course Objectives

  • This course provides an overview of the essential knowledge and skills in Microbiology and Pathology to identify the disorders which is required for an optometry technician  to perform their work effectively. It helps in applying the correct procedures to laboratory investigations and interpretation of tests in terms of the underlying pathology, as well as an understanding of the sensitivity, specificity and limitations of certain investigations

Learning Outcomes


The candidates should demonstrate fundamental knowledge and insight into general microbiology and pathology. Knowledge and understanding should be demonstrated in the areas of general medical disorder and how they can affect (1) virology, (2) bacteriology, (3) mycology, (4) parasitology, and  the eye. (5) inflammation and repair, (6) cardiovascular diseases and the eye,(7) blood diseases and the eye, (8) endocrine diseases and the eye, (9) neurological diseases and the eye, (10) nutritional disorders, (11) infectious diseases.(12) tumours, and  (13) congenital and hereditary conditions.
