Pupil Evaluation

The pupil exam provides critical diagnostic insight into neurological and ocular health. This session teaches standardized assessment of pupil size, shape, reactivity, and the afferent pupillary defect (APD) — including documentation techniques and red-flag findings that require immediate escalation to the physician.

Tear Testing & Dry Eye

Dry eye disease is among the most prevalent and underdiagnosed conditions in eye care. This session covers Schirmer testing, tear breakup time, osmolarity testing, MMP-9 point-of-care analysis, and patient screening protocols — equipping technicians to conduct thorough dry eye workups that support diagnosis and enhance the patient's care journey.

Instilling Eye Medications

Safe, sterile medication instillation is a non-negotiable clinical competency. This session reviews ophthalmic pharmacology fundamentals, drop and ointment administration techniques, dilation protocols, allergy screening, and documentation requirements — ensuring every team member meets the standard of care for medication safety and patient comfort.

Intraocular Pressure Measurement

Accurate IOP measurement is one of the most consequential skills in ophthalmic practice. This session provides hands-on instruction in Goldmann applanation, non-contact tonometry, and rebound tonometry — covering technique standardization, calibration checks, and documentation practices that support glaucoma management and clinical decision-making.

Pachymetry

Central corneal thickness measurement is critical for accurate IOP interpretation and surgical planning. This session covers ultrasonic and optical pachymetry techniques, probe positioning, normal reference ranges, and clinical significance — preparing technicians to perform and document corneal thickness measurements with precision and confidence.

Keratometry

Corneal curvature measurement is foundational to contact lens fitting, IOL calculations, and refractive surgery screening. This session covers manual and automated keratometry techniques, mire alignment, astigmatism axis documentation, and quality control checks — ensuring technicians deliver the accurate K-readings that drive downstream clinical and surgical success.

Patient Screening & Triage

Effective triage is the first line of clinical safety and practice efficiency. This session trains ophthalmic staff to systematically assess presenting symptoms, prioritize urgent versus routine concerns, apply structured communication frameworks, and route patients appropriately — thereby reducing risk, improving flow, and ensuring that no critical findings are missed at the point of first contact.

External & Fundus Photography

High-quality clinical imaging begins with skilled technique. This session covers slit lamp-based external photography, non-mydriatic and mydriatic fundus imaging, patient positioning, image composition, and documentation standards — equipping technicians to capture diagnostic-quality images that support accurate diagnosis and longitudinal patient monitoring.

Fluorescein Angiography

Fluorescein angiography is a high-stakes diagnostic procedure requiring both technical precision and clinical vigilance. This session covers injection protocols, recognition and management of adverse reactions, imaging sequence execution, and documentation standards — preparing technicians to perform FA procedures safely and to produce interpretable image series that meet physician and regulatory expectations.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT is one of the most powerful diagnostic tools in modern ophthalmology, and its value depends entirely on the quality of acquisition. This session covers retinal and anterior segment OCT protocols, scan selection, fixation optimization, signal strength interpretation, and artifact recognition — ensuring technicians consistently deliver scans that elevate diagnostic confidence and patient outcomes.

Clinic-Based Surgical Assistance

The perioperative role of the ophthalmic technician is critical to surgical safety and efficiency.
