Q

Explain the optics of a slit lamp (same as operating microscope)

97
Q

How does a Hruby lens help you see the fundus? What about handheld lenses (78, 90). What about Goldmann 3 mirror?

A

Cornea is high plus, so would never let you see beyond the anterior vitreous. 3 options to see farther: - contact lens to neutralise K power (Goldmann) - high minus lens to diverge the light a lot (hruby) - hand-held lens creates an astronomical telescope (inverted image - e.g. 78, 90)

98
Q

Explain the optics of a lensometer

A

Target object Known lens (Badal lens) Unknown lens then astronomical telescope then your eyes (observer) The target object moves such that, after it’s light passes through teh badal lens and the back vertex of the unkonwn lens, the light emerges parallel. This light then goes into the little astronomical telescope at the eyepiece, which you look into. Moving the object is linearly related to power of the unknown lens. It’s linear because of the Badal lens.

99
Q

How does a keratometer work? What are the 2 different kinds and how do they differ?

A

Keratometer works on the principal that the cornea is a reflecting surface of known index of refraction. It takes an object and it’s reflected image, uses the relative sizes of the two to figure out the reflecting power. From there you can back-calculate to the radius of curvature (if you know the index of refraction which is the same for all eyes), and from that figure out the refractive power. It only measures the central 3 mm of the cornea. There are 2 designs: - Hemholtz - fixed object size, measures the image size - Javal-Schiotz - changes object size to get a known image size You always have to line up 2 images which is beacuse of a ‘doubling prism’ that it uses - something to do with minimising the effect of the person moving their eye, shaking, etc during the keratometry measurement.
