49
Q

Conoid of Sturm

A

Spherocylincrical lens produces two perpendicular focal lines
-circle of least confusion is the area closest to a sphere. Occurs midway between the lines. Best overall focus

50
Q

Aniseikonia

A

Unequal image size between eyes. If not corrected can cause lazy eyes. The better eye will get used and the worse eye will stop being used.

51
Q

Anisometropia

A

Unequal refractive powers between eyes.

52
Q

Antimetropia

A

Eyes are positive and negative

53
Q

Accommodation

A

Eye changes it’s power to focus on near objects. Ciliary muscle contracts to cause increased power of eye’s lens.

54
Q

Amplitude of accommodation

A

Measured in Diopters. Gradually decreases with age. Lens becomes less flexible.
