Curriculum
Every live module runs a rotating set of cases and grades on the same four-part rubric, so a score means the same thing from one module to the next.
Preliminary testing
Confrontation visual fields
LiveScreen both visual fields by finger counting, recognize the classic defect patterns, and know which findings stop the workup.
Standard: Tests all four quadrants of both eyes with valid technique, names the defect pattern, and triages sudden-onset defects to the doctor immediately.
- Onboarding
- 50 min · 4 cases · 70%
- Drill
- 8 min · 1 case · 80%
- Certification
- 19 min · 3 cases · 85%
Extraocular motility
LiveDrive the patient through all nine positions of gaze, spot an underaction, and map it back to the muscle and cranial nerve behind it.
Standard: Tests all nine positions with the head steady, identifies the restricted position, and recognizes a pupil-involving third nerve palsy as an emergency.

iCare rebound tonometry
LiveTake a reliable, infection-safe IOP with the iCare, read the device's quality band honestly, and recognize the pressure that can't wait.
Standard: Loads a fresh probe, holds the correct working distance and alignment, obtains a green-band reading on both eyes, and escalates an acute pressure immediately.

Pupil assessment and RAPD
PlannedDirect, consensual and swinging-flashlight testing, and how to describe a relative afferent pupillary defect so the doctor trusts it.
~12 min
Visual acuity and pinhole
PlannedLine assignment, partial-line notation, when to pinhole, and testing the patient who can't read the top line.
~10 min
Optical
Lens materials and thickness
PlannedWhich prescription needs which, and how to say why it costs more without it sounding like a sale.
~14 min
Coatings and treatments
PlannedAR tiers, photochromics and polarized — and the patient who has been told once that AR scratches.
~12 min
Progressive selection and measurements
PlannedCorridor, fitting height, and the non-adapt conversation before it becomes a remake.
~16 min
Quoting the job against the plan
PlannedReading the authorization, applying the allowance, and quoting a full job out loud.
~12 min
Binocular vision
Cover test
PlannedCover/uncover and alternating cover at distance and near, naming the deviation and estimating its size.
~14 min
Instrumentation
Autorefraction and lensometry
PlannedCapture a usable auto-refraction, neutralize a spectacle lens, and know when the machine is lying to you.
~12 min
Patient communication
Taking a focused history
PlannedStructure a chief complaint, ask the questions that change the exam, and hand over cleanly to the doctor.
~15 min
Phone triage
PlannedDecide who is seen today, who is seen this week, and who goes straight to the emergency department.
