Optics Flashcards
Convex lens
Wraps around material with the higher n value. Positive (i.e. converging)
Concave lens
Wraps around material with a lower n value. Negative (i.e. diverging)
When do you get internal reflection
When n2
What happens to power of lens as you move them from the eye
Become more plus
What happens to the power of lenses as you move them closer to the eye
Become more minus
Aperture Stop
Limits the amount of light entering the system
Field stop
Limits the size of an object that can be imaging
Entrance Pupil
Image of the aperture stop formed by lens in front of aperture stop
Exit pupil
Image of the aperture stop formed by lenses behind aperture stop.
Depth of focus
Area on the retina where an image can be clear
Depth of field
Area of an object that can be clear without accommodaiton
What increases DOF
Decreased aperture and decreased focal length.
Field of view
The extend of an object that can be imaged
Lenses and FOV
Minus increase FOV. Plus decrease FOV.
Panto tilt of a minus lens
minus cylinder at 180
Face form tilt of a minus lens
Minus cylinder at 90
Cl always require more…
Plus power
Spectacles always require
More minus power
Properties of indirect
Larger FOV, less magnification, inverted, larger Depth of focus.
Prism with lensometer
Base is wherever the lines are. I.e. line above bullseye means BU
What is the cornea in keratometry
A convex mirror (negative). Measure the size of the reflected image.
How do you get BC from radioscope
The distance between the two clear images.
What do keratometers assume
N=1.3375
Magnification of funds lens
M=-Feye/Flens
High mass impact ANSI
Pointed projectile, 500 g from 50 inches.
High velocity impact
Steel ball, 0.25 inches in diameter, fired at 150 feet per second.
Spherical lenses base curve
Front sphere curve
Minus cylinder lens base curve
Front sphere curve. Back flatter curve is topic base curve. other back curve is cross curve
Base curves for contact lens
typically on back surface
What to do if seg is too low
decrease panto tilt, shrink the bridge, increase vertex distance, move pads down, narrow the pads.
Spherical abberation
Marginal rays bend more than axial rays. Don’t have to consider too much as pupil blocks out. On and off axis.
Coma
On axis only. Magnification is varied by height of incident rays above the axis is varied. Results in a comet shaped patch.
