Q

Why is the lack of nutrients and the fact that it is metaboclicalyl inactive goof

A

Q

What is the total lenticular power and why is it particular

A

+13.3D, it should be 21.35D and the difference is due to the different refractive indices in the lens

Q

Where is the RI largest in the lens

A

Canter (1.402)

25
Where is the RI smallest in the lens
Edge (1.386)
26
A lens with a varying RI is called
Gradient index lens (GRIN)
27
What makes up for the +8D of optical power of the lens
The small 1.2% change in RI between 1.402 and 1.386
28
Manufacturing of GRIN lenses
Very difficult to manufacture and therefore rare in commercial optics, however such lense are common in nature
29
What would happen if we replace the gradient index of human eye lens with a single lens with the same thickness, radii of curvature and refractive index?
The refractive index of the lens should be higher than the maximum RI of the gradient lens
30
What is the equibvalent refractive index for lens
1.42, want to choose higher
31
How does the human crystalline lens generate refraction?
- varying refractive indices | - varying its axial length
32
Where does refraction occur at the lens
Both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the lens as well as within
33
The combined refraction of all surfaces of the lens produces _____ (relaxed)
+21..35D
34
At accommodate state, lens refraction is _____
31.85D
35
Relaxed axial thickness of lens
3-6mm
36
Accomodative axial thickness of lens
4mm
37
The distance between the near and the far points on the lens
Accommodation range
38
When is the lens focused on the far point
Relaxed
39
When is the lens focused on the near point
Accommodative
40
What is a normal near point
2.5cm
41
The difference between the vergence of the far and near points
Amplitude of accommodation
42
Calculate the amplitude of accommodation (AA) of an eye with a far point of 1.25m and a near point of 10cm
Since AA is the difference between the vergence of the far and near points The vergence of the far point is 1/1.25=0.8D The vergence of the near point is 1/0.10=10D The difference is 0.8D-10D=9.2D
43
What is the equation to calculate AA based on age
AA=15-1/4(age) 10 y/o 15-1/4(10)=12.5D 50 y/o 15-1/4(50)=2.5D
44
______ of both UV and visible wavelengths decrease with increase in age
Transmittance
45
Scattering of light in aging eye
Happens in both forward and backward direction, increases with age, after 40 y/o
46
Lens axial thickness and age
Increases all through life at a rate of 13 microns per year. This increase in axial thickness of lens decreases the anterior chamber depth through out life
47
Anterior chamber depth and aging lens
Decreases because the lens axial thickness is increasing and taking up the room
48
Anterior radius of curvature (shape) of lens and age
Reduces with increase in age. This change is from 16mm at 8yrs to 8.3mm at 82yrs
49
Posterior radius of curvature(shape) of lens and age
Reduces slightly with increase age. This change is from 8.3mm at 8yrs to 7.5mm at 82 yrs
50
Equatorial diameter of the lens and age
Of the unaccommodated lens increases from 8.5mm to 9.5mm between the age 15-85
51
All possible shape changes in the lens and age
Declines with age, as reflected in the decrease in AA with age
52
Any disturbance in the optical homogeneity of the lens, i.e., local changes in the refractive index, including fluid filled pools and opaque spots that scatter light
Cataract
53
Color of lens and age
Yellows
54
What does the nucleus of lens do with age
Scatters and prefertinally absorbs more light
55
Eye contains the natural crystalline lens
Phakic
56
Eye is without the natural crystalline lens
Aphakic
57
Eye contains an IOL
Pseudophakic
58
Best solution for phakic people (no lens)
1. specs 2. CL 3. IOL (BEST OPTION)
