    Learning objectives

    • 2.5.3 Understand the nature of two new developments (OCT-angiography and compact electrophysiology) in eye assessment and how they may influence future eye examination
    • 3.1.3 Understand the use of OCT-angiography and how it provides a non-invasive assessment of retinal and choroidal vascular patency
    • 6.1.3 Understand the nature of electrophysiological assessments and how it provides a useful objective method of assessing visual pathway and aid diagnosis of many common eye conditions
    • 6.1.14 Understand the use of electrophysiology in assessing neural transmission through the visual pathway as a means of detecting neurological disease
