Course description

This learning module provides medical students with foundational knowledge and practical resources in ophthalmology. It adheres to the established Canadian curricular objectives, and is designed to teach high-yield information that is sufficient to succeed on the LMCC exam. Through teaching resources and practice questions, learners will review the anatomy of the eye and visual system, the basic eye examination, common ophthalmic presentations, ocular emergencies, ocular pharmacology, and appropriate management and referral.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this module, participants will be able to:

• Describe the anatomy of the eye and the visual system
• Perform a basic eye exam
• Evaluate a patient with acute vision loss
• Evaluate a patient with chronic vision loss
• Evaluate a patient with a red or painful eye
• Evaluate a patient with eye trauma
• Evaluate a patient with an eye movement abnormality, diplopia, or pupillary disorders
• Evaluate ophthalmic problems in children and describe the pathophysiology
• List the most important ocular side effects of systemic drugs
• List the common ocular medications that can have systemic side effects and contraindications to their use
• Describe when it is necessary to urgently refer

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course provides a comprehensive, clinically focused overview of neurotrophic keratitis. It emphasizes clinical reasoning, understanding the pathophysiology of corneal nerve damage, and identifying prognostic factors. Participants will explore mild to severe presentations, review evidence-based medical and surgical management options, and learn how to prevent long-term complications. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to manage neurotrophic keratitis across all stages to optimize both visual and anatomical outcomes.
