The student must achieve sufficient mastery of the techniques and skills that will allow:
+ Assemble, adjust and repair existing basic models of glasses.
+ Determine the appropriateness and validity of a glasses
+ Identify the source of problems and adjustment difficulties for users.
+ Offer solutions or alternatives to overcome these problems.
THEORY
1. Classification and parts of the spectacle frames.
2. Measurements of the spectacle frames. Facial measurements and spectacle frame parameters
3. Centration of single vision and multifocal lenses.
4. Standards of tolerance of ophthalmic lenses
5. Materials and manufacture of frames. The skin and spectacle frames
6. Selecting and adjusting spectacle frames
SEMINARS
The market for ophthalmic lenses.
Exercises and problems.
Notations on ophthalmic lenses.
PRACTICES PROGRAM
The practices of the field are 10 workshop sessions, three hours each, of which the latter will be a test.
Practices study the assembly processes of different types of lenses in the frames most commonly used, adapting them to the user and the maintenancer of fitted glasses.

Bibliographic material: At the moment of approving this teaching program, considering a possible scenario 2 or 3, the acquisition of new electronic bibliographic material is being requested; for this reason, the teaching staff of the subject will specify in the Virtual Campus what bibliographic material can be found in electronic format in the USC library when the funds are available as well as other resources such as web pages, blogs, etc.
We pursue the achievement of the following
BASIC AND GENERAL SKILLS
CG1 - That the students have the capacity to approach their professional and formative activity from the respect to the deontological code of their profession, which includes, among others more specific, the principles of respect and the promotion of the fundamental rights of the people, the equality between people, the principles of universal accessibility and design for all and democratic values and a culture of peace
CB1 - That the students have demonstrated knowledge and understanding in a field of study that assumes the general secondary education, and it is typically at a level which, although it is supported by advanced textbooks, includes also some aspects that imply knowledge of the forefront of their field of study
CB2 - That students can apply their knowledge to their work or vocation in a professional manner and have the competences typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments and solving problems within their field of study
CB3 - That students have the ability to gather and interpret relevant data (usually within their field of study) to inform judgments that include reflection on relevant social, scientific or ethical subjects
CB4 - That students can communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to both specialist and non specialized public
CB5 - That students have developed learning skills necessary to undertake further studies with a high degree of autonomy
TRANSVERSE SKILLS
CT1 - That they acquire capacity for analysis and synthesis.
CT2 - That acquire organizational skills and planning.
CT3 - That acquire oral and written communication in the native language.
CT4 - They acquire the knowledge of a foreign language.
CT5 - You acquire skills related to field of study
CT6 - That ability to acquire information management.
CT7 - They acquire the ability to solve problems.
CT8 - You acquire skills in decision-making.
CT9 - Acquire the ability to work in teams
CT14 - To acquire skills for issuing critical thinking.
CT15 - The student must maintain an ethical commitment.
CT16 - The student is capable of performing an autonomous learning.
CT17 - To be able to adapt to new situations.
CT18 - To be creative.
SPECIFIC SKILLS
EC4 - The student is able to critically reflect on clinical, scientific, ethical and social issues involved in Optometry practice, understanding the scientific basis of Optics-Optometry and learning to critically appreciate terminology, clinical trials and research methodology related to Optics-Optometry.
CE5 - The student is able to express opinions, reports and surveys where necessary.
CE6 - The student can evaluate and incorporate the technological advances necessary for the proper development of their business
CE9 - That the student can expand and update their capacities for professional practice through continuous training.
In the class will be taught two hours per week of teaching expository during one half.
In practice sessions, the teacher will demonstrate the work to be done by the student. Then, students will develop the practice under the supervision of the teacher. The end result should be self-assessed by the student before submission to the teacher. This will make a final assessment before the student noting, especially, how to correct errors, problems or defects detected.
We will use the Virtual Campus as a repository for documentation and communication channel between students and teachers
Working languages in the classroom: Galego
There will be a written test and another practical test. The overall grade will be the arithmetic average of the marks from the written test (50%) and the practical test (50%). This average grade must be 5 out of 10 or higher to pass the subject. It is a necessary condition to pass the subject to have a minimum grade of 5 out of 10 in each of the parts.
Errors in the answers to the written test may be penalized in the final grade.
For the evaluation of the practical test, attendance at a minimum of 8 sessions is mandatory.
The student must know how to use the focusmeter correctly.
Those students who, during the normal class period, have not attended this minimum of 8 practical sessions will not be able to take the second opportunity.
Those students who do not appear for either the theory test or the practical test are considered NOT PRESENTED.
In cases of fraudulent completion of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the evaluation of academic performance of students and the review of qualifications" will apply.
