Theory of Low Vision

Introduction

This module will introduce you to ophthalmic lens theory. You will gain a knowledge and understanding of basic optics, spherical, astigmatic and toric lenses, the lens measure, lens thickness and the effect of incorporating an ophthalmic prism in a spectacle lens. You will also learn how the field of view is altered when looking through a spectacle lens.

At the end of this module, you should be able to:

• Describe the materials and recall the terminology used in ophthalmic lenses
  

• Demonstrate a knowledge and understanding of basic optical principles which apply to ophthalmic lenses, the lens measure and its relation to lens thickness
  

• Recognise and define terms relating to ophthalmic prisms
  

• Apply basic mathematical concepts to solve ophthalmic lens problems both graphically and by calculation
  

• Carry out all types of transposition
  

Assessment 

• The module will be examined at the end of semester 2 in a 1.5 hour closed book examination which will consist of structured questions.
  

To pass this module you will need a mark of 40%

Welcome to the moodle page for your dissertation module!

This online space has been set up in 2013 to provide an online space for Bradford College tutors to upload their assignments via Turnitin and to view some guidance documentation and resources.

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Formulate a project that will provide a solution to an identified problem. 

2.  Manage a project within agreed timescales and specification; documenting the 

process throughout. 

3.  Evaluate potential project management solutions. 

4.  Produce a project report and deliver a presentation of the final project 

outcomes. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Explain the terminology used in construction technology. 

2.  Describe the different techniques used to construct a range of substructures 

and superstructures, including their function and design selection criteria. 

3.  Identify the different types of civil engineering/infrastructure technology used 

in support of buildings. 

4.  Illustrate the supply and distribution of a range of building services and how 

they are accommodated within the building. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Review health and safety regulations and legislation associated with the 

storage, handling and use of materials on a construction site. 

2.  Discuss the environmental and sustainability factors which can impact on and 

influence the material choices for a construction project. 

3.  Present material choices for a given building using performance properties, 

experimental data, sustainability and environmental consideration. 

4.  Evaluate the performance of a given building in respect of its human comfort 

requirements. 

Learning Outcomes 

By the end of this unit students will be able to: 

1.  Describe the construction industry with reference to company structures and 

other activities. 

2.  Explain different types of construction companies in the market and their 

relationships within the tendering process.  

3.  Discuss the key stages in a construction project, and how Building Information 

Modelling informs the different stages. 

4.  Analyse how the construction industry has developed suitable collaboration 

strategies in support of greater recognition of health & safety.
