    Background: Proper understanding of the optical function of the eye is the foundation of clinical understanding of ophthalmologists. Although teaching principals of optics has always been a part of ophthalmology residency curriculum, it seems that successful strategies other than lecture based methods are needed to engage students and facilitate the understanding of optical principals. Aim: A collaborative team of physicists (optic PhD), ophthalmologists and medical education experts designed an optic lab for ophthalmology residents to help them practically simulate different optical phenomena. The educational course consisted of 4 sessions of 90 minutes in order to practice the optical tests using the lab instruments. Each class consisted of 6-9 residents, divided into 3 groups with a fully equipped unit and two mentors (an .. View More»
