Department of Optometry and Vision Science organised a workshop on “Techniques of Refraction”, on October 16, 2024. The session aimed to enhance attendees' knowledge and skills in optometry, fostering a commitment to ongoing education in this vital field.
The aim of the recent talk on techniques of refraction was to provide attendees with a deeper understanding of the essential methods for assessing and correcting visual acuity, emphasizing the role of patient feedback in determining refractive errors. The speaker covered key topics such as subjective refraction methodology, common challenges faced by practitioners, and the latest advancements in refractive tools and technology.
In conclusion, the talk offered practical insights into the techniques of refraction, enabling attendees to gain a solid understanding of how to assess and correct common refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Participants also acquired hands-on experience with various refractive assessment techniques, equipping them with the skills necessary for conducting accurate vision tests and analyses.
