A

Behind the retina

18
Q

What lens can correct hyperopia?

A

Converging or Plus Lens

Convex

19
Q

What is Astigmatism?

A

Refractive Error is not equal in all meridians

One meridian is curvier than the other

20
Q

What is the shape of the cornea for an Astigmatism eye

21
Q

Where does the focal point land for astigmatism?

A

There is 2 focuses in the eye

No focal point

22
Q

What lens can correct astigmatism?

A

Sphero-cylindrical Lenses

23
Q

What are examples of Amplitude of Accomodation?

A

Gradually decreases with age

Lens becomes less flexible

24
Q

What is the Conoid of Sturm?

A

How rays are refracted through two different power meridians
Optical Condition refractive power of cornea and lens is not the same in all meridians

25
Q

What is the Unequal image sizes called?

A

Aniseikonia

26
Q

What is the Unequal Refractive Errors called?

A

Anisometropia

27
Q

What is the Amplitude of Accomodation?

A

Measured in Dioptres
Gradually Decreases in age
Lens becomes less flexible

28
Q

What are Accommodative Conditions?

A

Presbyopia

Latent Hyperopia

29
Q

What is the Accommodative Condition for loss of accommodation associated with aging?

A

Presbyopia

30
Q

What is the Accommodative Condition for amount of hyperopia that can be overcome with accomodation?

A

Latent Hyperopia

31
Q

What is the Refractive of the Eye?

32
Q

What is the Reduced or Simplified Eye?

A

Gullstrand is 58.60 D
Eye is 22.6m in length
Anterior focal point is 17mm in front of the cornea
Nodal point is 5.6mm behind the cornea
