Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
Course objectives
The course teaching is based on the fundamentals of geometrical optics, which are applied to eye as multi element optical system, which may be affected by various refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, aniseikonia, aphakia). The aim of the course is to elucidate the effect of proper spectacle lenses as well as the method of their technical parameters determination for individual refractive errors.
Syllabus
  • 1. Accommodation (accommodation interval and amplitude, dependence of accommodation on the position of object point, mechanism of accommodation, the Purkynie experiment, change of Gullstrand’s eye parameters during accommodation, description of accommodation in alternative eye model, accommodation measurement, the Duane graph). 2. Analysis of accommodation process (external and internal accommodation effect, Graef’s factor, the effect of a distance-vision correction lens on accommodation for myopia and hyperopia). 3. Correction of presbyopia (basis of presbyopia, technical possibilities of its correction, determination of addition from the position of a main working point, correction of presbyopia and intervals of sharp vision for emmetropic, myopic and hyperopic patients). 4. Spectacle lenses (bi-, plan-, periscopic, menisci, calculation of powers and radii of surfaces). 5. Single-point focus lenses (optical aberrations of spectacle lenses, field curvature and Petzval surface, Petzval sum, effect of field curvature at eye rotation, astigmatic pencil, tangential and sagittal plane and pencil of rays, focal lines, calculation of a single-point focus lens, the Tscherning ellipse, design of a thick single-point focus lens, possibilities of realization of single-point focus lenses, the Percival solution). 6. Aspheric spectacle lenses. Aberration correction by means of an aspheric surface. 7. Basic properties and parameters of spectacle lenses materials, chromatic aberration. 8. Prismatic effect (deviation, prismatic effect, image shift, orientation of base, prismatic effect of a lens, the Prentice rule) 9. Bifocal spectacle lenses (manufacture requirements, one-piece (grinded) bifocals, conditions for the zero image jump in bifocals, accommodation intervals), trifocal spectacle lenses (main working points, accommodation intervals), fused bifocals (calculation of surface radii, of refractive index, image jump). 10. Progressive power spectacle lenses (principle, design and manufacture, iso-power and iso-cylinder lines, sources of astigmatism, definition and width of progressive power corridor, soft and hard type of lens). 11. Lenticular lenses. Prism correction. 12. Eye astigmatism (etiology, classification, & correction of eye astigmatism). 13. Cylinder and toric spectacle lenses. Conversion of astigmatic corrections.

Teaching methods
Lecture completed by exercises that immediately follow the lecture subject matter.
Assessment methods
2 written tests take place during each of both semesters; 50 % of the maximum total score is necessary to pass. Oral examination consists from 2 topics. The resulting classification is calculated as the average of the written tests score (weight ca 1/3) and of the oral exam score (weight ca 2/3).
