Postgraduate Certificate in Visual Anomalies and Measurement Methods.

Visual anomalies are disorders or problems in visual perception that can affect a person's ability to see clearly. Examples of visual anomalies include nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and impaired color vision.

Nearsightedness occurs when a person has difficulty seeing distant objects. Farsightedness, on the other hand, causes people to have difficulty seeing near objects. Astigmatism occurs when the corneal surface is not uniform, making objects appear distorted. Finally, impaired color vision may be due to a deficiency in a person's ability to detect certain wavelengths of light.

Methods for measuring visual abnormalities and determining whether a person has a visual disorder.

Eye exam: An eye exam is a procedure in which an ophthalmologist or optometrist evaluates a person's ability to see clearly at different distances. During an eye exam, the eye care professional can evaluate for the presence of visual abnormalities and recommend treatments to correct them (such as eyeglasses, contact lenses or eye surgery).

Color vision tests: Color vision tests can be used to evaluate a person's ability to see different colors and determine if there is a deficiency in detecting specific wavelengths of light.

Visual electrophysiology: Visual electrophysiology is a set of tests that can be used to evaluate the function of the eyes and the visual system in the brain. These tests involve placing electrodes on the skin and recording the electrical activity generated by the visual system.

Ocular biometry: Ocular biometry is an imaging technique that relies on the use of ultrasound to measure the length of the eye, which can help diagnose nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Visual anomalies are disorders in visual perception that can affect a person's ability to see clearly. There are several methods for measuring visual abnormalities, including eye examination, color vision testing, visual electrophysiology and ocular biometry. Early correction of visual abnormalities is important to prevent complications and improve a person's quality of life.
