Corpuscular the theory which explains light as a stream of invisible bundles of energy Photons the visible bundles of energy Electromagnetic Theory The theory which explains light as moving in a series of wave pulsations. 186,000 miles per second the speed of light in air ray a point of light pulsating in a straight line all colors the colors that visible or white light are composed of base a prism will bend light towards its one meter one diopter prism will deviate a ray of light one centimeter in a distance of apex the image being viewed through prism will always be displaced towards its refraction the bending of light as it passed from a medium of lesser density to a medium of greater density is known as refractive index the speed of light in air divided by the speed of light in a material optical center the single point on an optical lens through which light may pass without being deviated converging/against motion plus lenses can be characterized by these two attributes diverging/with motion minus lenses can be characterized by these two attributes minus spheres simple myopia or nearsightedness can be corrected with these type of lenses plus spheres simple hyperopia or farsightedness can be corrected with these type of lenses cylinder lenses an eye which requires a different correction in different meridians can be corrected with these type of lenses 530 mm the radius of curvature of a one diopter lens +1.75 The total power of a lens with a +6.00 diopter front surface and a -4.25 diopter back surface lens. two plus surfaces a biconvex lens 1 meter the focal length of a one diopter lens +3.00 +2.00 x 005 the correction transposition of the following rx: +5.00 -2.00 x 095 out the pupillary distance ground too wide for a plus Rx will result with this type of prism base out the pupillary distance ground too narrow for a minus rx will result with this type of prism base base in and base in this combination of prism is not a canceling situation base up and base up this combination of prism is not a compounding situation radius of curvature not an element of the Prentice Rule formula 1.5 diopters the resulting total prismatic effect of a pair of 3 diopter spheres that is 5mm too wide plano the total power of the following rx at an 180 axis: +2.00 -2.00 x 090 +/- 2 degrees the tolerance for a cylinder of 1.62 diopters or greater 2/3 diopters the recommended limit for horizontal prism tint this will not affect lens thickness effective diameter this is twice as long as the given radius of any shape saggital value or sag an indictor of lens thickness closet distance between lenses DBL "A" Box measurement referring to the horizontal straight line between the farthest nasal and the farthest temporal point of a lens reads base curves not a function of the lensometer reticle the concentric circle configuration within the scope of the lensometer front side the bifocal add must be read with this side on the lens against the lens stop binocular the pd measurement which indicated the distance from the center of the pupil to the center of pupil monocular this type of PD best compensates for facial asymmetry upper right You are looking at a right lens in the lensometer. The Rx call for 1 BU and 2 BI. You find the optical center in this quadrant. -7.50 A lens has a front curve of +6.50. What back curve would yield a corrective power of -1.00? -6.50;-7.50 If a lens has a front curve of +4.50 which back curves would be required to create a lens with a power of -2.00 -1.00 x 180? 0.1766m A +3.00 diopter lens has this radius of curvature. violet The component of visible light has the shortest wavelength. apex to apex Minus lenses are though as two prisms or as a series as these. compound hyperopic astigmatism The following rx corrects this type of visual condition. +2.00 -1.50 x 180 OU steeper As plus power increases the base curves selected result in this effect on the lens. 25 cm +4.00 diopter lens has this focal length 1/diopters focal length formula optic nerve Visual images are transmitted to the brain via this pathway. infrared This portion of the electromagnetic spectrum falls just beyond the longest wavelengths of the visible spectrum. monel a non-hypoallergenic frame material
