What causes spherical aberrations?

spherical lens (both plus and minus)
- light located further away from the center bends more

Perfectly

How would you minimize spherical aberration

prescribe an aspheric lens for higher powered Rx
decr aperture/pupil
AVOID biconvex lenses
plus powered lens = steeper centrally, flatter peripherally

Consider a very simple eye model that consists of only a single spherical refracting interface (cornea) and a screen (retina). Assume that the radius of curvature of the SSRI is 6mm, and the axial length of the eye is 23mm. If an object, 35cm tall is placed 1m in front of the eye, how large is the retinal image?

Snells law

relationship btw angle of refraction and angle of incidence

Total internal reflection

light > critical angle will be reflected internally
- only possible if n2 < n1

What is the power of a thin lens (n2 = 1.5) in air whose front radius of curvature is 3 cm (with a convex surface) and whose back radius of curvature is 2cm (with a concave surface)

-8.33D

A real object is 35cm from a +3.00 thin lens placed in contact with a +1.00 thin lens. Find the conjugate image and focal lengths

f’ = +25cm and f= -25cm

image is inverted, magnified, real

When a stand magnifier is used to view reading material, light leaving the magnifier has a vergence of -3.00D. That is, an img of the material is located 33cm on the opposite side of the magnifier from the pt (33 cm to the left of the magnifier). What add is required at the cornea for this pt to use the magnifier, assuming the pt is 40cm from the magnifier?

+1.36
- use down vergence equation

A pts ametropia is perfectly corrected by cls that are +10.00D. What power would be required at a vertex distance of 12mm?

+8.93D

A crown glass spec lens (n=1.5) has a front surface power of +15.00D and a back surface power of -5.00D. the central thickness of the lens is 2mm. What is the back vertex of this lens?

+10.30D

When does the nodal point coincide with the principal points?

only if the nodal points are the same on BOTH sides then the principal planes are coincident

Field stop

limits the FOV or limits the size of the object that can be imaged by the system

In most telescopes used for distance viewing, the objective lens is the aperture stop. What is the exit pupil? What is the entrance pupil? Where is the exit pupil located for a Galilean telescope? A Keplerian Telescope?

The objective lens is the aperture stop. There are no lenses on the object side of the objective lens, so it is also the entrance pupil. The exit pupil is the image of the objective lens through the ocular lens. For a Keplerian telescope (with a converging ocular lens). the exit pupil is located outside of the telescope (closer to the pts eye), while the Galilean telescope (with diverging ocular lens), the exit pupil is located inside of the telescope

Entrance port

Exit port

Image of the field stop formed by the lens behind it

short focal length

larger depth of field

increase aperture size

decr depth of field and decr depth of focus

How will the following lens affect the field of view? minus plus

minus = incr FOV plus = decr FOV

Consider a lens whose power is given by +5.00+2.00x180. Find the circle of least confusion. What is the interval of sturm?

IOS = 6cm COLC = 17cm (or use spherical equivalent to find COLC)

A lens prescription is given by +2.00-3.00x180. Draw the power cross. Which meridian has the most plus power? If you place this lens over a fogged emmetropic eye and show the pt a clock dial, which line will appear sharpest?

- the horizontal meridian will have the most plus power. - 3-9 o' clock will appear the sharpest

What is the (approximate) power in the vertical meridian of the following lens: +5.00-2.00x135

+4.00

Consider a real object placed 40cm in front of a concave mirror with a radius of curvature of 18cm. Find the conjugate img and magnification.

L' = +8.61 M = -0.29

We are using +25.00 standard lens. To achieve appropriate focus, we must move target 2.0mm forward

Fv = +1.25

When using a lensometer, the sphere power is found to be -3.00D and the axis is 125. The power wheel is then rotated in the minus direction until reaching a power of -4.00D, at which point the cyl lines becomes clear. What is the power of the lens?

A mire is 8cm from the cornea and 5.5 cm tall. The reflected img is measured to be 2.3 mm. What is the radius of curvature for cornea? What would the read out of the know keratometer be?

You use a lens clock calibrated with n=1.5. You want to measure the power of a lens made from material n=1.7. The power read out of the lens clock is +6.00D. What is the actual power of the lens?

A cls has a BC measured to be +42.00 DK. What is the radius of curvature of this BC in mm?

If seg appers too high on the pt how would you adjust it?

- incr pantoscopic tilt - Decr vertex distance - spread pads - move pads up - stretch the bridge

IF seg appears too low to the pt

- Narrow the pads - move mads down - increase vertex distance - Reduce pantoscopic tilt - shrink bridge

The front vertex power through the distance portion of a lens is measured to be +3.45-2.00x090. The front vertex power through the nea portion of the lens is measured to be 5.45-2.00x090.

The add power is simply the difference in sphere powers, which in this example is 5.45-3.45 or 2.00D
