Exam 1 shuffled Flashcards
The ___ the index of refraction, the greater the glare and reflections
The higher the index of refraction, the greater the glare and reflections
Which frame material has issues with “gapping”
aluminum
What is the Abbey for polycarbonate?
30
n for crown glass
1.523
Saddle
bridge type that is curvy on top and bottom, does not protrude
Describe ophthalmic crown glass transmission characteristics
10% reflection, not a good UV blocker
uncorrected axial myope or hyperope has larger image size?
myope has larger image size
What is the total spectical magnification equation?
Shape factor * power factor
( 1 / (1-[t/n]F1) ) * (1 / (1-hFv)
___% of lenses are AR coated in the US
30
What are the specific gravities?
Crown glass specific gravity 2.54
CR-39 SG 1.32
Polycarbonate SG 1.20
Trivex SG 1.11
CR-39 specific gravity:
1.32
What is a mounting? What are the 3 brands?
The “frame” for rimless or semirimless glasses
Balgrip/Ilford
Numont
Wils-Edge
What is the “rule of thumb” for aniseikonia?
1.00D difference between eyes has 1% image size difference
What is the Abbey for crown glass?
59
What is the UV spectrum
200-380 nm
According to Knapp’s law, how are axial myopes best treated? Refractive myopes? what does correcting in these ways help avoid?
axial best treated with spectacles (but CLs are ok too, clinically)
refractive with CLs
these help avoid Aniseikonia
Index of coating equation:
nc= sqrt (nL)
nc = index of coating needed
nL = index of lens
What is Malus’ law of polarization?
I0 = Icos2 θ
I = initial light intensity
I0 = new light intensity
theta = angle between transmission axis of the 2 polarizers
Which hinge type has the “shield” visible from the font?
Riveted hinge
What is Knapp’s Law?
axial ametropic eyes corrected with specs will have similar retinal sizes as an emetropic eye.
