The student should be able to:
+ Recommend the most suitable lenses according to prescription and the frame chosen.
+ Install, adjust and adapt the different models of glasses on the market.
+ Detect and correct the cause of the problems and adjusting difficulties.
+ To offer solutions or alternatives to overcome these problems.
The classes will discuss the content and specific information relating to the practice session a week. In addition, we will discuss issues common to all as:
+ Adaptation and adjustment of frames.
+ Choosing the most suitable lenses and frames as prescribed.
+ Optimization of lenses. Standard lens, sharp and precalibrated.
+ Influence of errors of alignment in the optical quality of the compensation. Possible solutions.
The practicals proposal to develop in two-hour and half sessions are as follows (not necessarily in this order):
1. Assembly and adjustment of monofocal astigmatic lenses in metal frames
2. Assembly and adjustment of monofocal astigmatic lenses in plastic frames
3. Assembly and adjustment of bifocals lenses
4. Assembly and adaptation of progressive lenses
5. Assembly and adjustment of spectacles with nylon cord
6. Assembly and adjustment of other groove frames
7. Assembly and adjustment of rimless spectacles
8. Assembly and adjustment of rimless spectacles
Material availability can vary slightly the sessions, or the order they are carried out.

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

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

At the class will be presented practice that week, and other topics that were specified in minimum content paragraph. Also, students will receive the material they need to complete the practice.
In practice sessions, the teacher will demonstrate the work to be done by the student. Then students practice made under the supervision of professor. Final result should be self-assessed by students prior to being submitted to teacher. The professor will make a final assessment to the student, noting primarily the way to correct or avoid errors, problems or detected defects.
We will use the Virtual Campus as a repository for documentation and communication channel between students and teacher.
Working languages in the classroom: galician
The student will make a written examination of the contents of the subject, and take into account their daily performance in the workshop.
The student's final grade is the weighted average of grades received in each of the eight practical sessions (11,11%) (practices have not made a score of zero) and the theoretical test (11,11%).
Students who do not arrive so that approved, will make a practical test in the second chance.
The student must take at least sixt of the eight practical proposals for school year scheduled to be evaluated in either opportunity.
Be considered "no presentado" those students who do not make this practical minimum
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións" will apply.
Class work:
Teaching Expository: 8 hours

Active participation in practical sessions of the workshop.
We recommend close observation of the fashions, trends, market and developments in the field of ophthalmic lenses, sun and spectacle frames. In class, we will study those different aspects and innovative products, mainly aimed to foresee and address potential problems of assembly and / or adaptation that may occur.
In cases of fraudulent performance of exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Normativa de avaliación do rendemento académico dos estudantes e de revisión de cualificacións" will apply.
