Course objectives
The aim of the course is to teach students to apply the basic laws of geometric and wave optics to the eye as a multi-element centered optical system, which can be burdened with various refractive errors (myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, aniseikonia, aphakia) and corrected by glasses or contact lenses.
Learning outcomes
On completing the course, student will:
- understand the Gullstrand eye model and other models and be able to use them in optical calculations
- understand and be able to use the concept of visual acuity, understand the principle and use of optotype boards
- understand the nature and the optical causes of the basic spherical refractive errors of the eye and their basic parameters
- understand the optical nature of myopia, hypermetropia, afakia, know how to determine their basic parameters and understand the optical nature of their correction by glasses lens
- be able to determine the size of the image on the retina and other optical characteristics for corrected refractive errors of the eye - understand the nature of axial refraction
Syllabus
  • 1. Fundamentals of geometric optics for spectacle optics (sign convention, beam vergence, imaging by a spherical surface, vertex power, Gaussian thin lens formula, imaging by a system of spherical surfaces in paraxial approximation, cardinal points and planes of the optical system and their position, image graphical construction and tabular calculation).
  • 2. Eye models, Gullstrand's schematic eye (description and calculation of the optical system of the cornea, lens and of the total system of the model eye in paraxial approximation, basic parameters and positions of the cardinal points), real values ​​of the optical parameters of the eye, alternative eye models.
  • 3. Optical elements of the eye, visual acuity and optotypes (overview, significant axes, retina, photoreceptors, photopic and scotopic vision, size of the retinal image, resolving power of the eye, definition of visual acuity, visual acuity dependence on age, optotypes and their basic parameters, Snellen optotype board, scaling of optotype size, LogMAR and VAR scales, ETDRS and cRLM tables, general requirements for optotypes, angular and coincidence visual acuity)
  • 4. Emetropic, myopic and hypermetropic eye (far point, near point, ocular refraction, accommodation interval, accommodation amplitude, their specific expression for individual ametropias, principle of correction of ametropia).
  • 5. Myopic eye (classification of myopia, etiology and symptoms of myopia, myopia correction, conversion of the vertex power according to the spectacle lens position, the size of the image on the retina).
  • 6. Hypermetropic eye (classification of hypermetropia, etiology and symptoms of hypermetropia, hypermetropia correction, conversion of the vertex power according to the spectacle lens position, the size of the image on the retina).
  • 7. Aphakic eye (imaging by aphakic eye, correction of aphakia by spectacle lens, contact lens, intraocular lens).
  • 8. Nature of axial refraction in relation to the length of the eye and the optical system power (axial and refractive ametropia, emetropic state of the eye, dependence of aniseiconia on the nature of axial refraction).
