This topic covers the physiology of the visual sense. The normal development of the eye and changes with age. The integration of neural and motor control of eye-movements and our ability to control focus and a clear image under different lighting conditions. The cortical structure and processing of visual information (luminance, colour and motion). The formation and regulation of ocular secretions and parallel processing within the retina.
This topic aims to enable students to apply knowledge and understanding to the functional and structural relationships of the visual system that control the normal visual system.
