Description

COURSE OVERVIEW

Retinoscopy is an objective method to determine the refractive error of an eye ( Farsighted, Shortsighted, Astigmatism ) 

In this unique course, I will take you through the steps for performing retinoscopy through high-quality videos/ examples recorded directly from inside the Retinoscope which show retinoscopic reflex very clearly, aiming to make your life easy and increase your confidence with this highly important skill, to apply it in your daily practicing and for exams as well.
I tried to make all the videos straight to the point.

*Together we will learn :
- About the retinoscope itself
- Types of retinoscopic reflexes
- Positioning and set up while performing retinoscopy
- What to do to relax the patient's accommodation
- Neutralization technique in static retinoscopy
- Sphere lenses method in performing retinoscopy
- Sphere + cylinder lenses method
- Dealing with children and adults
- HD videos recorded uniquely from inside the retinoscope
- Break phenomenon
- Power cross
- Working distance compensation
- Adjusting trial frame
- Tips for optometry and ophthalmology exams
- How to practice on a model eye
- How to write the retinoscopic refraction

I've built the course that I would have wanted to take when I was learning retinoscopy!
Give your patients the best!
