[Teaching and learning in ophthalmology]

The acoustic era is being transformed ever more rapidly into the audiovisual era. This development is also having an increasing effect on training methods in medicine. In ophthalmological training especially, "teaching to see" plays a decisive role. Every newcomer to the specialty first has to learn how to "see" correctly, to judge three-dimensional relationships. The dynamic processes in the retinal and choroidal circulation can easily be demonstrated to students and young ophthalmologists by fluorescein angiography and TV fundus photography. This study illustrates the importance of space and time and shows how they can be integrated into ophthalmological training.
