B015508 - OPTICS FOR VISION

Review of some basic of optics, addressed to the study of ophthalmic lenses.
The measurement of the geometric and optical characteristics of ophthalmic lenses, curvature, thickness, refractive index, and power.
Review of the characteristics of optical aberrations according to the Seidel classification, framed in the context of the effects they may have on vision.
The geometry of ophthalmic lenses analyzed as a function of the fitting on glasses and their corrective effects.
Special ophthalmic lenses and their effects on the retinal image, vision and eye.
The influence of optical correction on the growth of the eye. Optical corrections for the prevention and the control of eye elongation in case of myopia.

Didactic material provided by the teacher

Acquisition of skills on the optical effects induced by different types of ophthalmic lenses on the retinal image and on the vision, in order to understand the best use of these lenses in the supply of optical aids for the correction of refractive error or other vision anomalies.
