Q

how does an ophthalmoscope work?

A

note that the image the retina sees is upside down and the brain flips ie. think VF defects

The image is then focused in front of the examiner and now is the new object (virtual) for the Dr.

lenses then help to focus the image on the Dr’s retina

On BIO, the BIO itself virtual object into a real inverted image. In order to see this image we need another lens ie. the 20 D lens

Q

How does a lensometer work?

A

It measures the back vertex power of a lens.

The lenometer is made up of a test lens (what we are looking for) + a known standard lens + TS + a moveable target.

We move the dial in order to move the target so that light from the STD lens converges at the primary focal point of the test lens. CAP FAM. This allows for parallel light rays to leave the test lens and the TS system so that parallel light enters our eye allowing us to see the target.

How does a radioscope work?

A

This measures the radius of curvature/back vertex power of a rigid gas permeable cls lens.

When looking through the radioscope we see 3 images.

first image when clear is the power at the surface of the lens

filament

the second clear image is the power located at the center of curvature of the cls lens.

In order to find the base curve we take the difference between the 2 images.

How does a keratometer work?

A

see image

A keratometer measures the radius of curvature/ power of the center of the cornea at different axes.

It converted the radius to curvature to D assuming that the retractive index of the cornea is 1.33.

ie. uses the equation:
F = (n’-n)/r

Q

Why does a higher powered fundus lens result in less magnification?

A

The funduss lens creates a keplarian (+ ocular and + objective lens) TS system.

with the lens being the objective lens and the cornea being the ocular lens.

to calculate the magnification it is similar to calculating the mag of a ts

Mag = - Foc/Fobj = - Fcornea/Flens

F cornea = +60 D

know that the higher the power of the lens, the increased FOV and lower mag

Q

What is special about the 60 D funds lens.

A

This gives us 1x magnification ie.

  • (+60)/(+60) = -1X

So when we measure the size of say the ONH on the slit lamp using this lens, we are measuring the true size of the ONH.

n = 1.53
CT = 1.5 mm
It is edged to a horizontal oval shape, where
A = 50 mm
B = 30 mm
How thick are the lens edges both in the horizontal and vertical?

A

ET? vertical
ET = CT - S1 + S2 (get based on drawing)
F = n’-n/r +6.00 = 1.53-1/r
r, = .088m = 88mm

F = n’-n/r -8.00 = 1-1.53/r
r2 = .066m = 66 mm

s1 = h^2/ 2r = (30/2)^2/2(88) = 1.28 mm
s2 = (30/2)^2/ 2(66) = 1.7

ET vertical = 1.5 - 1.28 +1.7 = 1.92 mm

S2 h = h^2/2r = (50/2)^2/2(66) = 4.73 mm

Q

Why do chromatic aberrations occur and that are the different types?

A

Caused by marginal rays (ie. rays at the edge of a lens) bending more. The lens in the periphery acts as a prism and splits the light into different wavelengths. Smaller wavelengths bend more.

Longitudinal/axial abberations: the idea that white light is spread and so the image will spread (occurs because different wavelengths are refracted differently)

lateral chromatic aberration: idea that as the image travels, the bigger it gets.

Q

Why does a coma aberration occur?

A

This occurs when the object you are looking at is located of axis (ie. causing you not to view it using the optical center).

As a result the rays that pass through the off axis location will cause a magnification difference and produce a blurred circle of the image. The more zones the light passes through the larger the blur.

The clearest image will be the one that is passing though the optical center/

Q

Why does an oblique astigmatism aberration occur? What are other names for this?

A

marginal/radial astigmatism

Light is passing though as off axis point (ie. an oblique point) so it is no longer focusing on a single point.

This creates a symmetrically warped image with 3 different curves:

Teacup - tangential
Saucer - saggital
Plate - petzal

104
Q

How do you avoid oblique astigmatism from occurring?

A
  1. choose the right base curve
    - on Tschering’s elipise we want to pic the flatter base curves ie. the ozwalt curve.
  2. tilt the lens so that light passes through it perpendicularly
105
Q

what happens when you tilt a lens?

A
  1. sphere increases
  2. cylinder is induced
    - (+) cylinder - induces (+) cyl
    - (-) cylinder induces (-) cyl
  3. axis = the meridian you are rotating around
106
Q

Why does an curvature of field aberration occur? What are other names for this?

A

= power error

if you have a flat object projected onto a screen, you will get a curved image (ie. image with the center clear, but edges curved and blurry). The farther that you move the projector away from the screen the more out of focus the edges will be.

Our retina is also curved so it can help match things up.

107
Q

How to avoid spherical aberration and coma in high powered lenses

A

use aspheric lenses

109
Q

How do you avoid curvature of field aberration from occurring?

A

110
Q

tscherning Ellipse

A

X- axis = back vertex power
y - axis = base curve

flatter curve = Oswalt
steeper cuve = Wollaston

111
Q

What is distortion aberration? Types? when do we not get these?

A

the idea that magnification is unequal. around the lens.

(+) lenses - magnify things
- points that are father away from the optical center will be bigger
e. get a pincushion distortion

(-) lenses minify- points farther from the optical center will be more minified.
ie. get a barrel distortion

straight line objects form straight line images only if they are in the center of the lens

CR = chromatic aberration
F = power of the lens

115
Q

What is achromatic doublet?

A

123
Q

Find the prism at the center of the following lens: -6.00 D with n =1.523. Assume the lens has A = 50 mm, B = 30 mm, a nasal thickness of 4.0 mm and a temporal thickness of 6.0 mm .

A

n = 1.523
g = 6-4 = 2mm
l = 50 mm (using this because talking about nasal and temporal thickness, use the B size if referring to superior and inferior thickness)

Prism = 100g(n-1) / l
= 100(2)(1.523-1) / 50
= 2 PD BO

126
Q

A prescription calls for a +4.00 D lens for the right eye, and it also calls for 3 BO. By how much should the lens be decentered?

A

prism = 3 BO

prism = dF
3 = d (4)
d = 0.75 cm

(+) lens -> so move to the left/ nasal

127
Q

Find the vertical prism induced in the right eye when a patient looks 10 mm below the optical center of the following lens:

OD: +2.00 -1.50 X 135

A

d = 10 mm = 1 cm
F - draw a cross and because they are exactly 090 degrees away the F value is the middle of the values of the cross ie. middle of +2.00 and +0.50. so +1.25

prism = dF =(1cm)(1.25) = 1.25 PD base up

A

the idea that each eye has a difference prism amount when looking away from the optical center.

130
Q

how do we add prism between the 2 eyes?

A

Horizontal:
- both in same direction -> add
- opposite directions -> subtract

vertical:
- both in same directions -> subtract
- opposite directions -> add

131
Q

what is yolked prism ? What are these used for?

A

both prisms are in the same direction

used to help with field enhancement ie. for patients with a stroke. Example bilateral left VF defect -> want base toward the defect so use BO OU

help with midline shifts

also help with nystagmus -> ie. so eyes stay in null point. If null point is to the right use BO OS

132
Q

A patient has a prescription calling for OD: +5.00 D and OS: +3.00 D spherical lenses. How much vertical imbalance is induced where the patient looks down 10 mm to read?

A

OD:
d = 10 mm = 1 cm
F= +5.00
prism = dF = (1)(5) = 5 PD BU (because + Lens)

OS:
d = 1 cm
F = +3.00
prism = dF = (1)(3) = 3 PD BU

total prism -> since vertical and same subtract 5-3 = 2 PD BU OD or 2 PD BD OS

133
Q

if a (+) lens is decentered down, the patient is looking through what direction of prism.

A

BD

134
Q

What are the 6 ways to correct vertical imbalance and how do they work?

A
  1. slab off : BUMM - BU more (-) in the 090 axis
    idea is that the lens shape is changed so that the lower hand of the lens has more base BU.
  2. dissimilar segs - using different seg heights/ shapes to correct the imbalance
  3. compensating R seg - more cosmetically appealing dissimilar sed
  4. multiple glasses - having a DVO and NVO glasses to remove the problem
  5. cls - the optical center moves with the eyes
  6. fresnel prism
135
Q

137
Q

What is image jump? What do you need to know for this?

A

how does the image jump or more as you go right across the bifocal line?

  1. add type (ex. FT -28 -> 5mm)
  2. add power

all image jumps will be with BD PRISM with a (+) add power

138
Q

Find the image jump in bifocals, given a prescription +2.00 -1.25 X 180, Add = 2.00 D. In this case the seg is a FT 28 seg. The seg drop is 4 mm

A

all we are doing is prentice’s rule with image jump.

d for a FT 28 = 5mm = 0.5 cm
F -> add power -> 2.00 D

prism = dF = (.5)(2.00) = 1.00 BD

ALL IMAGE JUMPS WILL HAVE BD PRISM!!!

139
Q

What is total prismatic effect?

A

140
Q

What is the total vertical prismatic effect in the right eye when a patient looks through a bifocal at a reading level of 15 mm below the MRP?

OD: +1.50 -1.00 X 090
OS: +0.50 -0.75 X 180
add: +2.00
seg drop: 4 mm
seg type: FT 28
PD: 64/59 (distance/near)

A

Distance prentice rule:
d = 15 mm = 1.5 cm
F = +1.50
prism = dF = (1.5)(1.50) = 2.25 PD BU

near prentice rule:
d = what is the distance from the near OC to the reading level? know seg drop = 4 mm and with FT 28 know that 5mm from top to the OC
15 - 4-5 = 6 mm = 0.6 cm
F = 2.00
prism = dF = (0.6)(2) = 1.2 PD BD

total:
2.25 BU + 1.2 BD = 3.45 BU OD

141
Q

A patient presents with a round 22 mm bifocal with a power of +2.00 D. What is the image jump?

Find the spectacle magnification for a patient who wears a +10.00 D lens (n = 1.5, 11mm thick) at 11 mm vertex distance. The front surface of the lens is +16.00 D

A

Shape factor = 1/1-(t/n)F1 =
1/ 1- (.011m/1.5)(+16.00D) = +1.13x

h = vertex distance + 3 mm = 11 +3 = 14mm
power factor = 1/1-hFv’ = 1/1-(.014)(+10.00) = 1.16x

spectacle magnification = shape factor X power factor
SM = 1.13X1.16 = 1.31x

161
Q

what do you want to prescribe for a patient with large differences in RSM between the 2 eyes?

A

lens with high RSM - more magnified eye
- thin flat lens ie. low t and low F1

eye with lower RSM

Rx glasses

163
Q

if a patient has a small amount of ametropia in one eye while the other has less than 4.00 D of ametropia. what do you rx?

A

bad eye likely due to refractive
rx cls

164
Q

what do you rx for large anisekonia due to astigmatism ?

A

usually anisekonia from astigmatism is due to cornea - rx cls

165
Q

accommodation and anisometropia. Does hyperopia or myopia anisometropia cause amblyopia more and why?

A

accommodation occurs equally between both eyes.
- in hyperopia - the less hyperopic eye will always see more clearly at all distances,(because the eye will accommodate equally by the least hyperopic eye) the more hyperopic eye will be blurry at all distances.
- why more likely to get amblyopia early on.

  • for myopia, a person will typically learn to use the less myopic eye for distance and the more myopic eye for near vision.
166
Q

a. Reflectance at the front surface of the lens = (n2-n1/n2+n1)^2

NOTE: if surrounded by the same media - reflectance and front and back surface = same

b. transmittance at each surface= 1- reflectance

c. light absorbed by the medium =
1- amount of light absorbed by the lens

d. total transmittance = T = (Ts1)(Ts2)(Tm)

Ts1 = transmittance at the front surface
Ts2 = transmittance at the back surface
Tm = light absorbed by the medium

169
Q

A lens (n=1.5) 2.00 mm thick absorbs 30% of incident light, ignoring reflection. Find the Total amount of light transmitted through the lens?

A

A. light reflected at the front surface of the lens:
(n2-n1/n2+n)^2 = (1.5-1/1.5+1)^2 =0.04

AA. how much is transmitted by the front surface ?
1- R1 = 1-0.04 = 0.96 = Ts1

since both media same = Ts1 = Ts2

if 30% absorbed -> 70 percent transmitted

T= (Ts1)(Ts2)(Tm) = (.96)(.96)(.7) = 0.65 = 65%

170
Q

What is the back vertex power of a cls equation?
When do you use this equation ?

A

only use if the thickness of a lens is given

t is in m

171
Q

A cls has a back surface radius of 7.4 mm, a front surface radius of 7.8 mm, a center thickness of 0.16 mm, and an index of refraction of 1.45. What is the back vertex power of the cls?

A

F2?
r = 7.4 mm =.0074
n’-n/r =F = 1-1.45/.0074 = -60.81 D

F1
r = 7.8 mm = .0078m
n’-n/r = 1.45-1/.0078 = 57.69 D

t = 0.16 mm = .00016 m
n = 1.45

Fv1 = F2 + F1/1-(t/n)F1
Fv1 = -60.81 +
59.67/ 1- (.00016/1.45)59.67= -2.75 D

172
Q

What happens to the effective power when we move from glasses to cls? How do we account for this in our cls rx?

A

becomes more minus the closer the lens is

CAPFAM
- add more (+) to cls RX
Note: only need to make a difference if > 4.00 D

173
Q

What is the effective power equation?

A

Feff = F/ 1- dF

d = (+) when move toward the eye

d = (-) when move away from the eye

174
Q

A patient has a spectacle prescription of a -7.00 DS OD at a vertex of 12 mm . What contact lens power is required?

A

Rule of thumb
4.00-> 0.25 D difference
6.00 -> 0.50 D difference
8.00 -> 0.75 D
10.00 -> 1.00

CAPFAM
-7.00 + 0.50 = -6.50 ish or you can calculate with the equation

175
Q

What are the 3 components to the GP cls model?

A
  1. Gas permeable CL
  2. tear film = lacrimal lake = tear lens
  3. cornea
176
Q

What are the GP lens equations?

A

Tear layer power = BCR - K(diopters)
-> BCR = flattest K in both meridians

cls power = vertex (spherical) refraction - tear lens power

177
Q

What type of tear lens power will a steep GP cls cause and what about a flat GP cls cause? What if the cls fit perfectly on the cornea, what is the tear lens power?

A

steep cls -> NaFl thicker in the middle -> induces (+) power

flat cls -> No NaFl in the middle -> induces (-) power

if perfect fit = 0

178
Q

The following information is obtained for a patient:

corneal curvature (K readings): 7.5 mm or +45.00 DK
subjective refraction (at the cornea) = +1.00 DS OU

What power of GP cls should be chosen for an on- K fit?

A
179
Q

Given:
corneal curvature = 7.5 mm (spherical)
subjective refraction = +1.00 DS

what power of GP cls is required if you chose a 8.0mm as the new cls base curve?

A
180
Q

How do change the power of the cls when the base curve of the GP lens is changed.

A

Whenever the GP lens base curve is changed, the power of the lacrimal lake will change. So the GP lens must be modified to compensate for the change in the lacrimal lake power.

SAM FAP

  • if you steepen the BC -> the lacrimal lake is more (+) -> add minus power to the GP Cl power
  • if you flatten the BC -> the lacrimal lake is more (-) -> must add plus power to compensate for the GP CL power
181
Q

How much will the GP cls power change for every 0.1 mm change in the base curve?

A

0.1mm change in the base curve will cause a 0.50 D change in the GP cls power and the Lacrimal lake power

182
Q

A patient is fit with a GP contact lens with a base curve of 8.00 mm and Fv = -3.00 D. If the base curve is steepened by 0.1mm to improve the fit, what is the new power of the cls?

A

For every 1 mm of steepening, the power changes by 0.50 D

SAMFAP
-> add minus because steeper

-3.00+-0.50 = -3.50 D

183
Q

What is residual astigmatism and how do you calculate it? Why is this important?

A

residual astigmatism = lenticular astigmatism

RA = RXcyl - Kcyl

Amount of RA that is tolerated = 0.75D
- so a patient can be put in a sphere lens if less than or equal to 0.75

  • if > 0.75 -> then need to put in a front surface topic lens
184
Q

A patient presents with the following information:

K readings: 43:00 D @ 180/45.00 D @ 090

subjective refraction = pl -2.00 X 180

the patient is fit on K with a GP cls. What is the amount of the residual astigmatism?

A
185
Q

Javal’s rule

A

refractive astigmatism = 1.25(measured corneal astigmatism + (-0.50 X 090)

186
Q

Consider a patient with the following keratometry findings:

K readings: 43.00 @ 180/ 46.00 @ 090

How much total refractive astigmatism would you predict for this patient?

A

43-46 = -3.00 X 180

1.25(-3.00 X 180) + -0.50 X 090
1.25(-3.00 X 180) + (+ 0.50 X 180)
-3.75 X 180 + 0.50 X 180

-3.25 X 180

187
Q

Given the information below, what is the anticipated over-refraction for this patient?
K readings: 43.00 DK
trial GP cls BC = 7.94 mm
Trial GP cls power = -3.00 D
corneal refraction = -5.00 DS

A
188
Q

GP cls parameters

A

OZD = area of usable optics

peripheral curve - prevents the edge of the cls from bearing, promotes tear exchange, and cls contraption

  • edge lift:
    too much decreases cls centration, increased awareness of cls -> can get 3 and 9 staining (cls moves too much)
    too little edge lift - > not get enough pooling of NaFL, greater change of debris stuck underneath cls, poor movement, poor tear exchange
  • center thickness:
    thinner lens -> better centration, better oxygen to the eye

center of gravity:
for a cls to have better centration, we want the center of gravity to be more posterior.

189
Q

How is Sag, OZD related and BC related ?

A

If we increase the OZD, we increase the SAG -> ie. lens is steeper

when this happens we need to flatten the BC to compensate

for every 0.4 mm change in the OZD, the BC should be adjusted by 0.25 D in order to maintain the same fitting relationship
“ think 4 quarters per dollar”

190
Q

What kind of change would be needed to be made in center thickness to make a significant amount of change in the fitting relationship of the cls?

A

0.03mm steps

191
Q

A patient presents with K readings of 42.00 D @ 180/44.00 D @ 090. What is the total refractive astigmatism predicted for this patient?

A
192
Q

steep lens fit

A

pooling = clearance
- can lead to SEAL OFF = lack of tear exchange

193
Q

flat lens fit

A
194
Q

spherical fit over WTF astigmatism

A

WTR astigmatism: horizontal = flatter so bearing
vertical meridian - pooling

195
Q

spherical fit over ATR astigmatism

A

note dark areas = area of touch
ATR astigmatism: vertical is flatter - so bearing here
pooling horizontally

196
Q

How do you decide what GP lens to fit your patient into?

A
197
Q

What is an alignment fit?

A

even distribution of NAFL

198
Q

when do we fit a biotic lens?

A

increased corneal astigmatism
- back surface of the topic lens will match the corneal astigmatism and correct it

increased residual astigmatism
- front surface of the cls will match the internal/residual astigmatism

199
Q

when do you fit a back surface toric? why are these hard to fit?

A

increased corneal astigmatism
- toric back surface

Rxcyl = 1.5(Kcyl)
- because index of gp cls (n=1.5) and index of tears (1.33) = diff, so the black surface of a back toric lens will overcorrect the corneal astigmatism due to index diff.

if you fit someone with back toric lens that doesn’t follow the second rule -> will lead them to overcorrect the astigmatism leading to induce astigmatism and as a result will not be able to see through the lens clearly.

hard to fit because hard to find patient with these parameters

200
Q

when do you rx a front surface toric? why are these hard to fit?

A

decreased corneal astigmatism
- because using a spherical back surface on the cls and use the tear lens correct the astigmatism

  • residual/ lenticular astigmatism - placed on the front surface of the cls

why hard to fit? - rotation- > rotating will make vision worse.

201
Q

what are aspheric cls? pros? cons?

A

these flatten at the periphery of the lens mimicking flattening of the cornea, but does not affect the overall prescription.

benefits - increased alignment, increased comfort, better centration and less aberrations

cons - lower risk of tear exchange and potential of seal off

202
Q

types of multifocal gp cls

A

simultaneous design

translating design

203
Q

what is a simultaneous multifocal gp cls design?

A

both the distance and near vision simultaneously go through the pupil

need perfect centration for this

204
Q

what is a translating design?

A

think like FT 28 bifocal

will see a segmented line on the cls. when patient looks down to read, lens will move up and patient will look through the bifocal part

205
Q

flexure vs warpage

A

flexure - occurs only one the eye.idea that GP cls alters the shape of the cornea when on the eye. take cls off the eye and the cls goes back to its original shape

warpage - occurs on and off the eye.
- main cause due to excessive digital cleaning

206
Q

what causes flexure to increase?

A

ie. there the lens is higher on the eye

  • thinner CT
  • increased OZD -> increased sag -> lens steeper_> sits higher
  • steeper BC
  • higher K astigmatism - ie. greater than equal to 1.50 D
  • higher DK
207
Q

What is the gas permeability of GP cls equation?

A

P = Dk (permeability - how much o2 gets through)

T = P/t = Dk/t

P = permeability
t = thickness of the cls material in cm

208
Q

What are gas permeability trends?

A

as thickness increases oxygen to the eye decreases and vice versa

209
Q

211
Q

what is prism ballasting?

A

base down prism incorporated into the cls

this weights the cls down and keeps it from rotating

212
Q

what is periballasting?

A

base down incorporated into the cls outside the optical zone

213
Q

what is dynamic stabilization?

A

thinning the superior and inferior portions of the cls - helps center the cls lens due to the eyelid pressure and keeps it from rotating

214
Q

what is eccentric lenticulation?

A

combination of dynamic stabilization and periballasting

215
Q

what is truncation?

A

cut off the lower half of the cls so its sits on the lower lid
NOTE: mostly seen in GP lenses

216
Q

LARS

A

LARS has to do with toric soft lens rotation from 6’clock position of the lens

Left add, right subtract
(always from the Dr’s perspective)
1. CW = Left rotation , modify based on pt’s axis NOT trial lens
1. CCW = right rotation

217
Q

you fit a soft toric cls OD with the Rx +1.00 DS -1.00 DC X 150. On the slit lamp examination you note that cls rotates 10 degrees ccw with the blink, What new axis should be ordered to compensate for this rotation?

A

LARS
CCW = rt -> subtract

150-10 = 140

218
Q

5. sihy

220
Q

fitting guide for soft cls

A

diameter: HVID + 2 mm

221
Q

rigidity of a soft cls

A

higher modulus - > increase stiffness

higher thickness -> increase stiffness

higher h20 -> decrease stiffness

222
Q

accommodation through cls for hyperopes and myopes

A

hyperope: accommodate less with cls vs glasses

myope: accommodate more with cls vs glasses
- for patients who experience symptoms with cls vs glasses, use a MF cls or use low powered reading glasses over cls

223
Q

magnification though cls and for hyperopes vs myopes

A

hyperope: they have a smaller retinal Image size with cls due to less SM

myope: have a larger retinal image see with cls compared to glasses

224
Q

vergence though cls and for hyperopes vs myopes

A

hyperope: converge less with cls compared to spectacle lenses due to less induced BO prism

myope: converge more with cls compared to spectacles fur to less induced BI vergence.

225
Q

228
Q

4 types of low vision magnification

A

-lateral magnification (L/L’)

  • relative distance mag (original object to eye distance)/ new)
    closer you bring something , mag increases to your eye
    think DON
  • relative size mag (new/original)
    material at same distance and changing letter size ie. making it larger
    think SNO
  • angular mag (think lens (optical system) being used to create magnification ie. hand held, stand magnifier)
229
Q

hand held magnifier - what does it do?

how do you look though it?/ use it?

how do you calculate total mag?

how do you calculate the HHM field of view

A

collimating magnifier. ie. parallel light leaves the magnifier.

think primary focal point - object at the primary focal point with diverge light hit the lens and leave the lens as parallel light

hold object at focal point of (+) lens

no accommodation or add is needed since parallel light is leaving, doesn’t matter how far you are from the magnifier either (but FOV increases the closer it is to the eye)

total magnification of a HHM = |d|F
d = distance of object to the eye in m before you started using the magnifier
F = power of the lens
if d not given - usually 0.25 cm -> this is how get store labeled magnification = effective magnification

w=d/(Fel)
w = field of view
d = diameter of lens in m
Fe = equivalent power of the lens
I = distance between magnifier to eye

230
Q

stand magnifiers
what is it?
what equations do we use?
what is the max mag you can get with a stand magnifier?
What is the normal mag of a stand magnifier?
The total magnification provided by a stand magnifier is due to which of the following 2 types of magnification?

A

non-collimating magnifiers = non-parallel light leaves magnifiers
- light diverges as it leaves the lens because holding object inside the primary focal point of the lens
- creates an upright, magnified, virtual image

for use to see the image clearly need to accommodate or use add power

Feq = ER * F2
F2 = add, accommodation or uncorrected RE
ER = L’-F1/F2
F1 = power of the stand magnifier
l’ = 1/L’ = virtual image location
c = f2 - l’ = distance between the eye and the stand magnifier.

What is the max mag you can get with a stand magnifier?
Max = Feq/4 +1

What is the normal mag of a stand magnifier? Feq/4

The total magnification provided by a stand magnifier is due to which of the following 2 types of magnification?
- relative distance mag and lateral mag

231
Q

A patient uses a hand held magnifier with a +15.00 D lens to view an object 50 cm away. What is the total magnification? How would this magnifier be labeled in the store?

A

store mag = (0.25)F = 0.25*10 = 2.5 x

232
Q

A 70 year old patient uses a 40 mm HHM with a power of +10.00 D to view an object 40 cm from the eye. The hand held magnifier is held 30 cm from the eye so that the object is located at the primary focal point of the lens. What is the field of view of the magnifier?

A

diameter of lens = d = 40mm
Fe = +10.00 D
distance object to eye w/o magnifier = 40 cm
l = distance of magnifier to eye = 30 cm

FOV = w = d/Fel = .040m/ (10*.30m) =13 mm

233
Q

You calculated that you need a power of +10 D and have a stand magnifier with a magnification of 5x. What is the add power you need?

A

Feq = +10
ER = 5x
F2?

Feq = ER* F2
10 = 5*x
F2 = +2 - ie. need an add, accommodation, or uncorrected myopia of +2 D

234
Q

How much magnification is provided by a +6.00 D hand held magnifier held in front of an object located 40 cm from the eye?

A

|d|F = mag HHM = .40m* 6 = 2.4x

Q

What is the aperature stop in a TS?

A

objective lens = limits the amount of light entering the system

242
Q

Keplarian Ts

A

(+) objective and (+) ocular lens
- light crosses inside the TS
- exit pupil is behind the ocular lens in free space outside the TS
- final image = inverted and magnified image - because light crosses inside the TS
- longer tube length
- greater weight
- larger FOV because the exit pupil is outside the TS
- images = dim - because small exit pupil

243
Q

Galilean Ts

A

(+) objective lens (-) ocular
- upright magnified image
- light weight TS
- smaller tube length
exit pupil = inside the TS
- small FOV because exit pupil inside TS
- exit pupil = larger so brighter image

A patient is using a 2.5x Galilean TS to view an object 25 cm away. How far apart should the lenses be set in order for the patient to view the object clearly though the TS?
Fob = +20 Foc = -50

A

L = n/l=1/-0.25 = -4 D
L + F = L’ = -4+ 20 = +16
n’/L’ = l’ = 1/15 = 0.0625 m

L+F = L’ -> 0 = -50 + L
L = -50
n/L = l = 1/-50 = -0.02
