9
Q

How do you calculate transverse magnification?

A

Transverse magnification (“M”) is given by M = U/V
U is incoming vergence (often from object)
V is output vergence of light leaving lens
“MUV’in out” – M = U/V = i/o “i” is image distance and “o” is object distance from lens of interest.

21
Q

How do you interpret results of a duochrome test?

A

if red side is better, current refraction is too hyperopic and more minus power must be added. If Green better, too myopic and more plus power added.
“RAM-GAP”
Shorter wavelengths (green) focused more anteriorly. Longer wavelengths (red) focused more posteriorly.
