Refraction image formed at plane surface:
LIVE
* Laterally Inverted
* Virtual
* Erect
Prism image formed at plane surface:
Image formed by the prism: EVA
. Erect
. Virtual
. Displaced towards the Apex
One Prism Dioptre
One prism dioptre produces a linear displacement of 1
cm of an object at 1 m
Increased Prismatic Power In Periphery Of Lens Can Cause
SJS
* Spherical aberration
* Jack-in-the-box phenomena
* Scotoma -Ring scotoma
What is Maddox Rod used for
Maddox Rod is used to detect ocular Muscle imbalance
Prismatic Effect Of Lens: Formula
P= F x D
* P is prismatic power, F is dioptric power and D is distance in centimeters
Does Colour Blindness affect duochrome test?
Color blindness doesn’t invalidate duochrome test as it
depends on the position of the image with respect to retina
SRK formula
P=A-B(AL)-C(K)
P= IOL POWER
A constant of model lens
B 2.5 constant
C 0.9
AL axial lenght
K K reading
2509
loupe/ simple magnifying glass formula
M = F/4
M= Magnifying power
F =lens power in diopter
Accommodative power formula
A= V-R
A= accommodative power
unfinished
Spherical equivalent formula
SE= sphere + cyl/2 (100 plus)
Angle of deviation of prism
Rough Rheumatoid Arthritis
* Refractive index of prism
* Refracting angle of prism
* Angle of incidence of ray
Power in Prentice position
One prism surface is perpendicular to the ray of light
Normally specified for glass prisms i.e trial lens prism
Diagnostic uses: PRiSMS
- 4D Prism test for microtropia
- Reserve (fusional] to assess BSV
- Squint angle measurement
- Maddox rod
- Simulated blindness assessment
The advantage of CL
increased field of view and decreased optical aberrations
Disadvantage of CL
demands greater convergence and accommodation in Myopes
How many prism D can be put in CL
Upto 3 D prism can be put in CL
Wavelengths absorbed by cornea and sclera
The cornea and sclera absorb all the very short wavelengths
in UV-B & UV-C and very long wavelengths in IR-B & IR- C radiations
Wavelengths absorbed by human lens
The human lens absorbs UV-A light while IR-A radiation
passes through the ocular media along with the visible light
The degree of chromatic aberration in the human eye
2-3 dioptres
Geneva lens measure assesses
The Geneva lens measure assesses the surface curvature of a lens
Prentice position of a prism occurs
when one surface of the prism is normal to the ray of light so that all deviation occurs at the other surface
Maddox Rod: subjective check deviation
Horizontally to check for Horizontal muscle imbalance and
vertically for Vertical one
Example of refractive index: Air

Example of refractive index: crown glass
1.52
Example of refractive index: Diamond

Total Internal Reflection
Rays entering more oblique than critical angle don’t emerge from denser medium and reflected back
Total Internal Reflection examples
Fibre optic cables, Cornea air interface in eye
Total Internal Reflection in eye can be overcome by:
Can be overcome with contact lens with a higher refractive index than eye
Wavelength
wavelenght of a wave is the distance between two successive peaks of propagation.
One oscillation is
defined as the segment of the wave where it returns to the start, which is also known as one cycle
Amplitude
is a maximum displacement of the wave from its baseline.
Interference
Interference is the phenomenon where two or more waves interact with one another.
Diffraction
Diffraction is described as the apparent bending of a wave around an obstacle.
Airy disc
Diffraction through a circular aperture causes a diffraction pattern where there is a central bright disc
