Vision (English)

Visual defects are amongst the most common human problems. They range from the relatively trivial, such as inability to focus light accurately and colour - blindness, to very serious conditions that can lead to blindness. With the increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes, together with an aging population, serious eye diseases are increasing in frequency and importance. Thus some knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the eye is essential for nurses.


There are a total of sixteen short exercises in the Vision experiment:

1. Sheep eye dissection
2. The human eye
3. The blind spot
4. Macular vision
5. Visual acuity
6. Disorders of visual acuity
7. Convergence of gaze
   
8. Accommodation (focusing)
9. Saccadic masking
10. Mechanical stimulation of the retina
11. The positive after-image
12. The negative after-image
13. Retinal blood vessels
14. Visual information
15. Optical illusions
16. Color blindness

Interspersed through these exercises are five patient case studies which demonstrate some the physiology presented.
