Which lenses should be used to correct the defect of astigmatism?
Cylindrical lens
What is ocular refraction?
refraction is when light bends example; cameras, eyeglasses, telescopes, and through water
How can you tell which objective lens is in the viewing position?
When the objective lens you want to use is in the viewing area it will click in place. At times, trial and error will help. It will only take minute or two to get it correct.
Which type of vision problem occurs when the lens of the eye focuses light in front of the retina instead of on the retina?
Myopia, or nearsightedness. This is when a person can see things clearly that are close up, but objects further away are blurred. It is one of the most common causes for one to need corrective lenses, or glasses.
The eye doctor tells you that the lens of your eye is a bit too strong and your eyeball is elongated she will probably prescribe glasses for you that will correct?
hyperopia
What lens can correct a myopia?
Diverging Lens are use (reading glasses) to help correct the problem of myopia helping fix the focus which causes items far away to seem fuzy and blurry.
What type of lens would be needed to correct myopia concave or convex?
It would be concave lens. This is because it diverges the light before it enters the eye.
The far point of myopia person is 85 cms in front of the eyes what is nature and power of the lens required to correct the vision?
The defect the person suffers from is myopia. 1/f=1/u+1/v 1/f=1/-85-1/infinity f=-85 cm =-0.85 m The power of the lens=1/f =1/-0.85 =-1.176 D Concave lens have negative focal length and are used for myopia. Thus the the lens that should be used to correct this defect is a concave lens of -1.176 D.

myopia
How can a myopia be improved?
by use of a diverging lens
What does concave lens do?
A concave lens is a lens that possesses at least one surface that curves inwards. It is a diverging lens, meaning that it spreads out light rays that have been refracted through it. A concave lens is thinner at its centre than at its edges, and is used to correct short-sightedness (myopia). The writings of Pliny the Elder (23-79) makes mention of what is arguably the earliest use of a corrective lens. According to Pliny, Emperor Nero was said to watch gladiatorial games using an emerald, presumably concave shaped to correct for myopia.

What must you do to keep our eyes free from myopia?
It is impossible to keep from developing myopia (near sight). It is easy to correct with glasses, contacts, LASIK, PRK, or lens replacement. Myopia usually starts to develope in early childhood and almost always increases as the child continues to grow. You would have to stop the growth process to stop the increase in myopia.
What types of physiologic myopia are there?
may include refractive myopia (the cornea and lens-bending properties are too strong) and axial myopia (the eyeball is too long)
Can a lens have it's optical centre outside the lens?
Yes, it can.
Is 2 diopters a positive power?
If it is written as +2 Diopters it is positive, ie a converging lens. If it is written as -2 Diopters it is negative, ie a diverging lens. Diverging lenses are prescribed for myopia, or short-sightedness. Converging lenses are prescribed for hypermetropia or long-sightedness.
