-Refraction of adult and orthotic child adults and children
-Neurophthalmology
-perimeter
-fluorangiography
-hypovision
-Visual rehabilitation
-outpatient clinics dedicated to different pathologies (congenital diseases, endocrinology, pediatric ophthalmology, corneal surface, retina, glaucoma).
-Operating room

Course syllabus
The student, at the end of the internship period, should be able to describe in detail the methods of diagnostic investigation in order to:
- Know how to correctly process (or evaluate) the sensory-motor balance of the strabismic patient in different age groups
- Know how to correctly identify and treat amblyopia
- Know and be able to recommend the most suitable aid for compensation of refractive defects
- Know how to demonstrate autonomy in therapeutic activity for functional rehabilitation of adult and child visual impairment
- Know how to identify and know how to train the most appropriate low vision aid for the patient and know how to verify its effectiveness
- Know how to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team
- Know how to demonstrate autonomy in the use of noninvasive instrumental ophthalmologic semeiology techniques
- Know how to perform proper pre- and postoperative budget assessment for surgical correction of strabismus

Prerequisites for admission
The student must have passed the examination of Clinical Internship II
Teaching methods
Starting from the lectures, theoretical knowledge becomes experiential with clinical internship activities . There will be exercises, seminars, simulations, group work, preparation of papers and/or research, analysis of clinical cases
Teaching Resources
Preparation is based on the slides provided by the lecturer and available on the ARIEL website and the recommended texts

Assessment methods and Criteria
The clinical internship is extensive and takes place from October to September.
The internship activity is evaluated using three fact sheets that investigate the knowledge of being and knowing how to do.
The final grade of internship is expressed in thirtieth and is given by the average of the values in thirtieth of the three assessment sheets.
