Q

How is light refracted?

A

Light rays are refracted as they pass through a medium at an oblique angle. This is because the oblique rays that are closest to the surface of the new medium will enter the medium first and thus be slowed down first

Q

Snell’s Law

A

A fundamental law in optics that governs the refraction of light in a transparent medium. It tells us how the angle of incidence is related to the angle of refraction and the refractive index. It can be used to calculate the angle of the incident ray, the refracted ray or the index of refraction.

 Lens designs are based on this relationship. It is also the basis of all ophthalmic equipment, many ophthalmic tests, measurements, and protocols.

Q

Light going through center of lens is NOT refracted

A

In any lens, the ray of light going through the center of the lens is not refracted. But all rays on either side will be refracted. They will either converge (come together) to form a point or diverge from a point (more on this later). This is known as the focal point.

Q

Convergence

A

Light rays moving toward each other are convergent. Convergent light rays usually do not occur in nature but are the result of the action of an optical system (eg, a lens). Convergence is expressed in plus power. Therefore, a lens that causes convergence is expressed in plus power (+). The power (or vergence power) of a lens describes its ability to converge or diverge light rays.

Q

Axial length

A

xial length of the eye that determine the refractive error

The eye is a compound lens system that refracts light. It is the power of this lens system and the axial length of the eye that determine the refractive error of the eye. With near-sightedness, the refractive power of the eye is too strong for its axial length. There is too much plus power. This occurs either because the lens of the eye is too strong or the eye itself is too long. We will focus on axial length and assume the lens and cornea are of average power. The average axial length of the eye is approximately 24.40 mm. For every 1 mm change in axial length, a 3.00 D change in refractive error with occur!

Q

Emmetropia

A

The emmetropic eye is a normal eye in which all the rays of light from a distant object are focused sharply on the retina. NO refractive error is present. There is no need for corrective distance lenses. PLANO Sph BEFORE WE GET INTO THE TYPES OF ASTIGMATISM, LET’S RECALL HOW AN EMMETROPIC EYE FOCUSES LIGHT ONTO THE RETINA

Q

Ametropia

A

The plus power of the eye can be excessive or inadequate, possibly resulting in decreased vision. In both instances, the power can be corrected. This is done so by changing the total plus power of the eye with lenses so that it IS at an adequate level.

Q

Minus lenses and all the characteristics

A

Also, when an image is viewed through a minus lens, the image will appear to move in the same direction as the lens when it is moved side to side or up and down. This is referred to as “with motion”. Minus lenses diverge rays of light. Light going through the thinnest part of the lens (the optical center) is NOT refracted. This is because it is perpendicular to the lens surface. Everywhere else, the angle of incidence is not 90 degrees and will therefore be refracted according to Snell’s law.

Q

Plus lenses and all their characteristics

A

AGAINST MOTION An image viewed through a plus lens appears magnified. OTC reading glasses are plus lenses, thus people call them “magnifiers”. When an image is viewed through a plus lens, the image will appear to move against the motion of the lens as it is moved side to side or up and down. This is referred to as “against motion”. Plus lenses converge rays of light. Light rays going through the thickest part of the lens (the optical center) are NOT refracted.

And patients use the optical prescription given to them to get glasses or contacts to help them see Is the patient myopic or hyperopic?

How myopic or hyperopic are they?

Do they have astigmatism?

Spherical lens

A

So remember, spherical lenses only have one parameter which is power (D).

have a spherical curved surface and, therefore, the same power in all meridians. This makes sense since we are using a spherical lens for a “spherical” cornea.

Spherical lenses can be plus or minus and will display characteristics of those lenses (image movement, magnification, central or peripheral thickness, convergence or divergence, etc).

Simple astigmatism

A

Cylinder lenses are used to correct astigmatic errors in which only one meridian needs to be corrected and the other is plano (pl). Plano is the same as “zero” spherical power. Cyl is used to correct simple myopic and simple hyperopic astigmatism. If a patient has simple hyperopic astigmatism in both eyes, their prescription may look like this… OD: pl +1.00 x 045 OS: PL +0.75 X 120 The PL Indicates THAT THERE IS NO (ZERO) SPHERICAL POWER! IF A PATIENT HAS ASTIGMATISM, THERE WILL BE 2 POINTS ON THE NUMBER LINE, ONE FOR THE SPHERICAL POWER AND ONE FOR THE CYLINDER POWER. THESE POINTS CAN FALL ANYWHERE ON THE NUMBER LINE. IF IT IS A SIMPLE ASTIGMATISM IN PLUS CYLINDER, ONE OF THE POINTS ON THE NUMBER LINE MUST BE ZERO AS THERE IS ZERO SPHERICAL POWER!

Q

Conoid of Sturm

A

envelope of light rays between the 2 focal lines

154
Q

Sturm’s interval

A

is the distance between the 2 focal lines

155
Q

What is accommodation?

A

This readjustment requires an increase in the plus power of the eye (remember, we need more convergence). Amazingly, the eye has the ability to automatically change it’s refracting power in response to a change in distance. This is called accommodation. Accommodation helps to keep things in focus as they move closer. The closest point where we can maintain a clear image with the help of accommodation is called the near point.

156
Q

How does it occur?

A

First, the ciliary muscle that surrounds the lens receives a signal to contract. The zonules (fibers that connect the ciliary muscle to the lens) become relaxed. The inherent elasticity of the lens causes it to increase in thickness. This increases its effective power.

157
Q

Maximum power of the lens

A

. The maximum power of the lens is +33.00 with full accommodation

158
Q

What is presbyopia and what are the symptoms?

A

?The accommodative ability decreases with age because of this loss of strength of the ciliary muscle and hardening of the lens. This is referred to as presbyopia. It usually becomes noticeable between 40-45 years of age and gradually worsens from there

159
Q

ADD power to correct presbyopia

A

Presbyopia is corrected with reading glasses or bifocals/trifocals or possibly contacts or refractive surgery.

160
Q

What is amplitude of accommodation?

A

The amplitude of accommodation is the maximum dioptric amount of accommodation that an eye can exert

161
Q

How do you calculate amplitude of accommodation?

A

In order to measure amplitude of accommodation, a reading card or other object with small print is held at arm’s length and gradually brought closer to the eyes. The distance at which the patient reports a blurring of the letters is measured in centimeters. This measurement can then be converted into diopters

162
Q

How to determine the reading and computer Rx

A

Let’s determine the reading Rx is the patient’s Rx is as follows…

-2.00 +1.00 x 050 ADD +2.00

We take the ADD power of +2.00 and ADD it to the spherical power of the distance Rx. The cylinder and axis stay the same.

-2.00 +2.00 = 0.00 or plano

So, the reading Rx is

pl +1.00 x 050

Let’s determine the intermediate/computer Rx is the patient’s Rx is as follows…

-2.00 +1.00 x 050 ADD +2.00

We take the 1/2 of the ADD power of +2.00 and ADD it to the spherical power of the distance Rx. The cylinder and axis stay the same.

-2.00 +1/2(2.00) = -1.00

So, the computer Rx is

-1.00 +1.00 x 050

163
Q

Light and image displacement

A

Prisms will displace an object towards the apex

This is different than light! Light reflecting off an object is bent towards the base of the prism while the image displacement is towards the apex. The image is called a virtual image.

164
Q

Difference between real and virtual image

A

When light shines through a prism, the image produced by the bending of light towards the base is called the real image.

This is different than light! Light reflecting off an object is bent towards the base of the prism while the image displacement is towards the apex. The image is called a virtual image

165
Q

Formula for object displacement

A

P = C/D

Where P = Prism power (D)

C = displacement of object in centimeters

D = distance from prism in meters

166
Q

Direction of prism

A

Base In (BI) – the base is in towards the nose

Base Out (BO) – the base is out or away from the nose

Base Up (BU) – the base is up from the nose

Base Down (BD) – the base is down from the nose

167
Q

Compounding and cancelling prisms

A

Horizontal prisms (BI and BO) are additive (or compounding) if the bases are in the same direction (both BI or both BO).

* Horizontal prisms have a canceling effect if the bases are in opposite direction (one eye has BO and one eye has BI).

* Vertical prisms (BU or BD) have a compounding effect if the bases are in opposite directions (one eye has BU and the other BD).

* Vertical prisms have a cancelling effect if the bases are in the same direction (both BU or both BD).

■

OD: -3.00 +0.75 x115 3.00Δ BU

OS: -1.00 +1.00 x090 2.00Δ BD

It is possible to have prism over both eyes. The total amount of prism power needed is split between the 2 eyes (even though only one eye may be deviating). This is up to the doctor. But we must remember some rules regarding this.

168
Q

Tests for muscle deviations

Tropia

Phoria

EXOTROPIA

HYPERTROPIA

HYPOTROPIA

ESOTROPIA

COMBINATION - EXOTROPIA AND HYPOTROPIA

A

Tropia – an obvious deviation in the alignment of the eye (strabismus).

Phoria – a latent deviation in which the eyes have a tendency to turn from the normal position (not obvious, elicited by cross cover).

EXOTROPIA – the eye turns out

HYPERTROPIA – the eye turns up

ESOTROPIA – the eye turns in

HYPOTROPIA – the eye turns down

COMBINATION - EXOTROPIA AND HYPOTROPIA – the eye is turning down and out due to an optic nerve tumor

169
Q

171
Q

Induced prism

A

Types of prisms available to use in the clinic are loose prisms, horizontal and vertical prism bars and Risley’s rotary prism.

To determine the direction of the induced prism, you need to know if the lens is convex or concave, along with if the optical center is too wide or too narrow

172
Q

Prentice’s Rule

A

We use Prentice’s rule to figure out the amount of induced prism (whether intentional or not).

173
Q

Decentration

A

The optical center must be decentered by 4 mm in each eye. But is decentered inward or outward? Here are the rules…

■Plus lenses decenter in the same direction as the base of prism ordered by Dr.

■Minus lenses decenter in the opposite direction as the base of prism ordered by the Dr.

174
Q

Fresnel prism

A

A Fresnel Prism is a “press on” prism or sticker. It is wafer thin and made out of a flexible, vinyl material. Regular prisms can be very thick so a Fresnel prism is a good way to achieve the effects of a high powered prism without the thickness of a high powered prism. They are available up to 40.00 prism diopters. They have a pattern of thin lines which reduce contrast and will make the vision somewhat blurry

Fresnel prisms can be cut to the shape of a lens and placed over a patient’s existing lens in their glasses. They are easily applied and removable. They are great for double vision situations that are temporary such as nerve palsies.
