Labs: Lens Design (M2) Flashcards
What is the minimum center thickness for a back vertex power of less than +2.00D? 1. CT for greater than or equal to +2.00D? 2
- 2mm
2. Fv + 0.5mm
What is the spectacle magnification approximation formula?
%SM = tF1/15 + hFv/10 t = center thickness (mm) h = lens to entrance pupil distance (mm) = vertex distance + 3mm F1 = front surface power Fv = back vertex power
What problems does uncorrected anisometropia lead to?
- refractive amblyopia
- poor stereopsis
- headaches
- discomfort
What is more likely to cause distortions and discomfort in glasses: difference in sphere power or difference in cylinder power and/or axis?
difference in cylinder power and/or axis
How can you make an astigmatism correction more comfortable and reduce distortion?
bi-toric lens: cylinder ground into front and back of lens
What are lenses that are designed to correct the image size difference between two eyes and corrects the refractive error?
eikonic lenses
For axial anisometropia, do spectacles or contacts result in equal retinal image sizes? 1. For refractive anisometropes? 2
- spectacles
2. contacts
What is a plano lens that shape magnifies an image and can be overall or meridional?
afocal magnifier
What is a change in image size in an eye brought about by spec Rx called?
spectacle maginification
For a axial myope, do spectacles magnify or minify the retinal image (how does it compare to emmetropic eye)? 1. For axial hyperope (compare to emmetropic eye)? 2
- minify (same as emmetopic eye)
2. magnify (same as emmetopic eye)
What are the clinical tests that can be used to test for size difference?
- space eikonometer
- leaf room
- aniseikonia inspector
- Awaya test
- Brecher’s procedure
What problems does corrected anisometropia lead to?
- induced prism
- poor cosmetic appearance
- weight differences
- aniseikonia
For refractive ametropia, once corrected how does the retinal image size compare to an emmetropic eye?
not the same
What are the limitations of F1? 1. Limitations of F2? 2
- greater than or equal to +1.00
2. less than or or equal to -2.00
What does the ocular image depend on?
- retinal image (optics)
- retinal mosaic
- neuronal processing along visual pathway
- final representation in visual cortex
