Q

Pick the following two answer that are correct:

1) Negative Spherical Abberation has absolute focal power and the power increases away from the lens center
2) Positive Spherical Abberation the absolute focal power increases away from the lens center
3) Paraxial image point is located closer towards the lens than non-paraxial
4) Non paraxial image point is located close toward the lens than the paraxial image point

A

2) Positive Spherical Abberation the absolute focal power increases away from the lens center
4) Non paraxial image point is located close toward the lens than the paraxial image point

Note: Tangential is closer = Non-paraxial image point
Sagittal is further from the image point

Q

Consider image formation through a lens. The paraxial image point is 100 cm behind the lens. The non-paraxial image is 90cm behind the lens? Calculate the LSA.

A

+0.11

LSA = 1/ln’ - 1/l’
=1/90 - 1/100 = 0.0011 =0.11D

A

True

Ratio displayed through the question is 6:1.

Note: The answer can also be 1 : -6, where the back surface power is 6 times less than the front

19
Q

True or False. The appropriate surface eccentricity E of a spectacle lenses is calculated by the inverse of the lens refractive index (1/n).

True or False. The far point of a hyperopic eye is at finite distance behind the eye, thus the far point of an emmetropic eye is at infinity.

A

True.

26
Q

True of False. The far point of a myopic eye is at a finite distance in front of the eye.

A

True

27
