OPHT 125B - Ophthalmic Optics III

1. Perform basic algebraic and trigonometric procedures.
2. Identify, state, and define various light theories and the principles of refraction, reflection and absorption as they relate to each light theory.
3. Determine dioptric power of a given lens, mirror, prism, telescopic system and the human eye, using various formulas and testing instruments.
4. Identify, define and describe how light interacts with prisms and the use of prisms in eyeglasses and contact lenses.
5. Identify, define, and state the usage of multiple lens systems such as microscopes and telescopes in an ophthalmic practice.
6. Relate and apply the concepts of light theory, lenses, prism and mirrors to the refraction process, including pre-exam work up tests, prescription determination, and post exam follow up tests used in an ophthalmic practice.
7. Identify, state, and define image/object descriptors given a specific lens, mirror, prism, and the human eye/visual system.
