Physiological Optics 1 Flashcards
BIO compared to direct
BIO has a
- Larger FOV
- Less magnification
- inverted real image
- Larger depth of focus
How BIO works
Retina is the object –> Light leaves and focuses into an image between the patient and doctor. The new image becomes the object for the doctor’s eye, which is focused on the doctor’s retina.
Condensing lens forms an intermediate, inverted, real image.
The lensometer measures what
The back vertex power of the lens.
Formula for lensometer
x = (focal length of the standard lens)^2 (back vertex power of lens)
x= meters that you move the dial. Away from you = negative, myopia
Towards you = positive, hyperopia
Hand neutralization
Minus lens –> With motion
Plus lens –> Against motion
What 2 images do you see in the radiuscope
The first image is from the surface of the lens. Now set it at zero.
The second image is the center of curvature for the GP lens.
Take the difference between the 2 positions of focus to find the radius of curvature.
What does the keratometer measure
The cornea acts as a
Measures the radius of curvature of the CENTER of the cornea along certain axes
Convex mirror (minus lens)
How does a keratometer work
Keratometer projects an image onto the K. We see the reflection back. Then measure the size of the reflection by turning vertical and horizontal dials so the +’s cross.
Keratometer assumes n of the cornea is
1.3375 and treats the K like a single spherical refracting interface (SSRI)
Formula for power of kertatometry
F= 3375.5/radius in meters
Lens clock measures what
The sag of the lens
Formula to correct for different n when using the lens clock
F of pt lens = (n of lens - 1) / (n of lens clock - 1) x F of lens clock
How to calculate mag factor based on lens used (90D vs 78D)
Mag = - (F eye) / (F lens) Mag = -(F ocular) / (F objective)
F of the eye is 60D
The drop ball test is apart of which ANSI standards
Z87.1
ASNI Z87.1
Drop ball test/High mass impact: pointed projectile, 500g, dropped from 50 inches
High VELOCITY impact: Steel ball, 0.25 aches in diameter, fired at 150 feet per second
Equiconvex and equiconcave
Half of the total power is due to the front surface and half is due to the back surface
What formula connects sag to radius
Sag = h^2/ 2r
Decentration per lens
Frame pd - pt pd/ 2
Minimum blank size equation
= ED + 2(decentration) + 2mm
Major reference pt
Point on the lens through which the line of sight (visual axis) passes.
How many mm is the distance from the seg to near OC
- FT28
- Executive/Franklin
- Round
- 5mm
- 0mm
- Half of the radius. radius = 22mm? Distance is 11mm
Hard and soft progressive designs
Hard- small corridor, high add
Soft- large corridor, low add
Inset
Geometrical center(frame PD) to the pt’s distance pd
GC- pt pd/ 2
