260 College of Optometry CVR 8694—Independent Study IV in Low Vision Offering competency-based instruction in the utilization of paradigms for research applications, this course is tailored to individual research interests (e.g., techniques on evaluating reading performance and eye movement monitoring for the student interested in conducting research on reading in low vision patients). The purpose of this course is to provide a means for M.S. students to intensively review potential thesis topics and for non-M.S. students to engage in individual research of personal interest with close supervision and guidance. (3 semester hours) Ocular Motility Courses CVR 8710—Overview to the Analysis of Eye Movements I This course presents elements of ocular motility. Topics include principles of saccadic, pursuit, vestibular, opto- kinetic, vergence, and accommodative movements and addresses the anatomical, kinematic, physiological, cybernetic, and pathophysiological properties of ocular motility. (3 semester hours) CVR 8720—Overview to the Analysis of Eye Movements II This course is the continuation of CVR 8710. It covers more in-depth reading on saccadic, pursuit, vestibular, optokinetic, vergence, and accommodative movements and addresses the anatomical, kinematic, physiological, cybernetic, and pathophysiological properties of ocular motility. The students are also expected to learn process eye movement data with R or Matlab. (3 semester hours) CVR 8791—Independent Study I in Ocular Motility Offering competency-based instruction in the utilization of paradigms for research applications, this course is tailored to individual research interests (e.g., identifying the neural deficits associated with ocular motility abnormality). The purpose of this course is to provide a means for M.S. students to intensively review potential thesis topics and for non-M.S. students to engage in individual research of personal interest with close supervision and guidance. (3 semester hours) CVR 8792—Independent Study II in Ocular Motility Offering competency-based instruction in the utilization of paradigms for research applications, this course is tailored to individual research interests (e.g., identifying the neural deficits associated with ocular motility abnormality). The purpose of this course is to provide a means for M.S. students to intensively review potential thesis topics and for non-M.S. students to engage in individual research of personal interest with close supervision and guidance. (3 semester hours) CVR 8793—Independent Study III in Ocular Motility Offering competency-based instruction in the utilization of paradigms for research applications, this course is tailored to individual research interests (e.g., identifying the neural deficits associated with ocular motility abnormality). The purpose of this course is to provide a means for M.S. students to intensively review potential thesis topics and for non-M.S. students to engage in individual research of personal interest with close supervision and guidance.

(3 semester hours) Disease Courses CVR 8810—Disease Assessment This course focuses on selected topics of ocular, neuro-ocular, and systemic diseases that have undergone dramatic changes secondary to advances in both clinical research and technology. Large, controlled, clinical studies that have led to significant changes in both the diagnostic and management strategies of some common conditions, along with controversies in treatments, will be studied. In addition to weekly readings and discussions, students will present the latest advances and controversies in a subject related to their clinical research topic or clinical interest. (3 semester hours) CVR 8820—Advanced Course in Disease This course focuses on the topics of glaucoma, in particular, areas of advances in both the diagnosis and management of glaucoma patients, selected additional disorders involving the optic nerve, and macular disorders. Use of evidencebased studies in the management of the disorders covered is stressed. In addition to weekly readings and case studies, each student will prepare a paper reviewing the latest advances and controversies in a selected glaucoma, optic nerve, or macular disorder topic.
