Title: Analyze the physiology of the eye.
Course: Vision Care Technician I (14057-I) > Section: Exploring the Anatomy and Physiology of the Eye

Analysis should include

- explaining the alignment of the eyes
- describing the role of fixation in visual acuity
- explaining causes for fixation difficulty
- explaining fusion
- identifying the functions of the extra ocular muscles
- using appropriate terminology for the physiology and movements of the eye
- identifying divergence and convergence
- discussing the relationship of depth perception to monocular and binocular vision
- describing the eye’s ability to accommodate focus on an object
- determining the effects of intraocular pressure
- discussing the function of tears
- determining the function of the retina.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What causes age-related dry eye?
- How does it affect the eye? What causes intraocular pressure changes?
- How does fusion create binocular vision?
