• Develop observational and organisational skills to identify the structures of the eye; communication skills (written and oral) to describe the normal structure of the eye and orbital contents;
• Appreciate the common occurrence of anatomical variation of the eye and orbital contents; the scientific basis of knowledge of eye structure.

Content:

The anatomy of the skull, with particular emphasis on the orbital cavity, the orbital contents and the external features of the eye. The histology of the ocular tissues. The anatomy of the brain, with particular emphasis on the visual pathway. The embryological development of the eye together with developmental anomalies.
