  1. Revision of Optics For Postgraduates

  2. General Considerations • Geometrical optics The science of geometrical optics consists of the study of the passage of light through various media. • Clinical optics Consists of study of the basic optical principles of the human eye

  3. Geometrical Optics

  4. I. Light • Light is a form of energy or electromagnetic radiation which is capable of stimulating the photoreceptors of the retina to produce the sensation of sight • The visible spectrum • Wave theory of light - Wave fronts - Wave motion - Phase difference (coherent & incoherent)

  5. II. Reflection • Definition • Laws of reflection (2) • Reflection by plane mirrors • Reflection by spherical mirrors: - Concave mirrors - Convex mirrors

  6. III. Refraction • Definition • Laws of refraction • Factors affecting refraction of light • Real and Apparent depth • The critical angle &Total internal reflection

  7. Refraction by Lenses (A) Spherical lenses • The principal focus of a convex lens • Conjugate foci of a convex lens • Types of spherical lenses a. Convex spherical lenses - Plano-convex - Biconvex - Convex meniscus (concavo-convex) b. Concave spherical lenses - Plano-concave - biconcave - Concave meniscus (Convexo-concave)

  8. Images formed by convex lenses • Images formed by concave lenses N.B. The nature and position of the image depends upon the position of the object.

  9. (B) Astigmatic lenses ● Cylindrical lenses - Convex cylinder - Concave cylinder - Axis of the cylindrical lens - Power of the cylindrical lens - Refraction by a cylindrical lens ● Toric lenses (sphero-cylinderical lens) - Image formed by the toric lens ► Sturm of conoid ► Interval of sturm ► The circle of least diffusion

  10. Cross cylinder and its uses • Maddox rod and its uses

  11. IV. Refraction by Prisms • Definition of the prism • Refraction by prisms • Nomenclature (Notation) of prisms - The prism dioptre - Angle of minimum (apparent) deviation - The centrad - The apical refracting angle

  12. Use of prisms in ophthalmology • Diagnostic • Therapeutic • In ophthalmic instruments

  13. Clinical Optics

  14. Optical Considerations of Normal Eye

  15. Cardinal Points of the Eye • The nodal point • The anterior (First) principal focus • The posterior (Second) principal focus • The centre of rotation of the eye • The Optical axis • The visual axis • The central pupillary line • The angle Alpha • The angle Gamma • Angle Kappa

  16. The Optical Constants of the Eye • Refractive indices of the ocular media • Radii of curvature of the central region of the refracting surfaces of the eye • Positions of refracting surfaces of the eye
