21
Q

Plus cyl form vs. Minus cyl form

A

Plus cyl form (cyl on front) vs. Minus cyl form (cyl on back - current, more common std, useful for making multifocal lenses where only have add on front surface where there is no cyl, useful for cosmetic appearance b/c hide variances in meridians on ocular side)

22
Q

Convert Rx to P cross

A

Convert Rx to P cross - Use Rx: 1st # = Sph P (most plus meridian for minus cyl Rx) in both meridians of P Cross 1, 2nd # = Cyl P (on axis opp given axis, so 0 at given axis reserved for sph P in P Cross 2&raquo_space; Add P Cross 1 + P Cross 2 = Resultant

23
Q

A

Add sph + cyl, Change sign of cyl P, Change axis by 090

24
Q

A

Crossed cyl [like JCC] - Front surface w/ plus cyl, Back surface w/ minus cyl&raquo_space; Resultant w/ meridians of same P (+) and (-) cyl

25
Q

Optic axis vs. Optical center vs. Lens poles

A

Optic axis (line joining centers of curvature of front and back surfaces, perpendicular to both surfaces) vs. Optical centers (pt on optic axis intersected by path of light incident on front, which is // to path of light after it is refracted by the back surface, BUT not necess on actual front and back surface of lens) vs. Lens poles (pts on optic axis actually on front and back surfaces of lens, Anterior pole - On convex side, Posterior pole - On concave side)

26
Q

A

Through Minus lens (WITH motion) vs. Through Plus lens (AGAINST motion or WITH motion, dep on where observer’s eye is in relation to 2ndary focal pt of lens)

27

A

Circle of least confusion (at dioptric midpt btwn two focal pts) vs. Interval (Conoid) of Sturm (linear distance btwn front and back focal pts, vert meridian&raquo_space; horiz line image, horiz meridian&raquo_space; vert line image)

28
Q

Image formation for spherical vs. cylindrical vs. toric lens

A

Image formation for spherical lens (pt image) vs. cylindrical lens (line image // to axis) vs. toric lens (two line images perpendicular to each other w/ Primary focus - most plus, if both meridians + &raquo_space; primary image - focused closest to lens, Secondary focus - least plus, if both meridians +&raquo_space; secondary image - focused furthest from lens) - (similar corresponding rules if minus)

33
Q

Off axis P in toric lens - Formula

A

P(alpha) = Ps + Pc sin^2 (alpha) where P(alpha) = off-axis P, not a true P b/c P doesn’t really exist in oblique meridian = cyl P (diff btwn P of axis meridian and P of oblique meridian)&raquo_space; used to help calc edge (center) thicknesss, Ps = sph P (most + meridian) of surface, Pc = cyl P (diff btwn two Ps of meridians) of surface = more minus meridian - less minus meridian, (alpha) = angle btwn axis meridian and oblique meridian, so off axis meridain = axis + or - (alpha) or 180 deg away from that

34

A

If cyl Ps w/ same sign (btwn orig axes), If cyl Ps are equal (midway btwn orig axes), If cyl Ps are equal AND axes are 90 deg apart (sph lens), If cyl Ps are unequal (resultant axis more towards axis of greater cyl P)

35
Q

Combine two sphero-cylindrical lenses w/ axes NOT // or perpendicular to each other… Rules for resultant cyl P

A

If axes of cyl Ps close to each other (resultant cyl P close to sum of two cyls), If axes of cyl Ps almost 90 deg apart (resultant cyl P close to diff of two cyls w/ axis closer to higher cyl P)

36
Q

A

Pns = Po [ 1 + sin^2 (alpha) / 2n ], Pc = Pns tan^2 (alpha) where Pns = new sph P due to tilt, Pc = cyl P induced due to tilt w/ same sign as sph, Po = old sph P (P along 090 for pantoscopic tilt, since x 180 OR P along 180 for face form tilt, since x 090), (alpha) = angle of tilt, n = index of lens

38
