2026-2027 Basic and Clinical Science Course, Section 3

Clinical Optics and Vision Rehabilitation
Delve into clinical optics and vision rehabilitation, connecting optical principles to ophthalmic practice. Updated content explores myopia prevention, refined IOL calculations (including challenging eyes), and innovative optical correction techniques enhanced by interactive videos and exercises.
BCSC Section 3, Clinical Optics and Vision Rehabilitation, of the Academy’s Basic and Clinical Science Course (BCSC) provides a comprehensive overview of clinical optics and clarifies, for ophthalmology residents and practicing ophthalmologists alike, how optical principles translate into clinical practice.

Notable Revisions to BCSC Section 3 include:

• Updated and expanded discussion of the prevention of myopia progression
• Revised discussion of IOL power calculation formulas, including optimization, IOL constants, and potential sources of error
• Expanded discus
