This activity report reviews a period of 20 years of my professional life, since the completion of Applied Physics degree - Branch Optics Expertise in Optometry at the University of Minho to the Master in Advanced Optometry. This report is elaborated according to the order rectorial RT 38/2011. It is reviewed studies in the form of scientific publications with peer review, which I presented on the topics of measurement of corneal thickness, applanation tonometry without anesthetic, portuguese standard of develomental eye movement, new fixation disparity test, photostress assessment conducted with ophthalmoscope , influence of oral contraceptive in the tear, tear the influence of cocaine. Also it will be presented work on publications in book form, as the anuário de lentes de contacto 2000, and nonscientific publications by invitation in an optical specialty magazine on the anisometropia and refraction and dispersion indices themes. Also conference contents, university lectures by invitation and workshops presented and taught by me, in academic and professional context. This report also presents the development process and capabilities of a computer program Utilitário de Cálculo da HydronTM, of my own authorship and development, as well as work in the recovery of the optical function of the Bom Jesus Telescope on my technical direction. Followed be the presentation of four selected clinical cases from my clinical practice as Optometrist, which are of interest to understand my application of Optometry science to clinical practice as Optometrist. Finally, this report addresses my contribution to the development of Optometry as a professional class, both in the educational aspect as the legislative.
