The lessons will be held in-class in compliance with the University indications on social distancing and/or remotely through the online platforms provided by the University. The distance lessons will be held in synchronous (through Microsoft Teams platform) and/or asynchronous mode (through Power point with audio, video recording lessons, other).
The program and reference material will not change.
The written exam will take place according to the procedures described in the dedicated section of the teaching sheet.
As per the Rector's decree of 31 July 2020, the written exam will be done in presence, guaranteeing international students, out-of-the-region students and those affected by serious diseases the possibility to do the written exam remotely, even in a different date.

Eye diseases
Course syllabus
-The correct process of vision: the role of ocular media and their physiopathology: the process of vision, refraction, cornea disorders and cataracts and how they can affect the correct process of vision. Discussion about practical clinical cases.
-The red eye: the different inflammatory conditions of the eye, their differential diagnosis, management and treatment. Discussion about clinical cases of anterior uveitis, keratitis, conjunctivitis and acute attack of glaucoma.
-Abnormal Eye Movements: the different mechanisms leading to disorders of the eye movements and diplopia. Differential diagnosis criteria and examples of clinical cases.
-The visual system in the child: the main steps of the development of the visual system from the eye to the brain. Particular weight will be given to amblyopia, strabismus and to what a pediatrician needs to know about correct development of "the good sight", differential criteria of leucocoria and tumors of the eye and affecting vision.
-The blind eye: the more common conditions leading to complete blindness, vascular disorders, e.g. retinal arterial and vein occlusions, diabetic retinopathy, ischemic optic neuropathy, cerebral ischemia involving the visual pathways and neuritis and tumors. The growing importance of the imaging of the eye and specifically of the retina and the optic nerve head compared with the "traditional" examination of eye fundus.
-The main chronic eye diseases: diseases relevant from an epidemiological point of view, such as glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, which represent the most important causes of legal blindness in Western Countries. -Discussion about new therapeutic paradigms that put a strain on the sustainability of National Health Systems.
